 A power screw or translation screw is a screw used as a linkage in a
machine, to translate turning motion into linear motion.

 The design of power screw may be such that :

1. Either screw or nut rotates and it moves axially as member is
stationary.
example. Screw Clamp.

2. Either the screw or nut rotates but does not moves axially.
example. Shredding Machine
 The square thread form is a common screw thread form,
used in high load applications such as leadscrews
and screwjack.

 It is the lowest friction and most efficient thread form,

but it is difficult to fabricate.

 The greatest advantage of square threads is that they have

a much higher intrinsic efficiency than trapezoidal
threads.

 Due to the lack of a thread angle there is no radial

pressure, or bursting pressure, on the nut. This also
increases the nut life.
 The single-point cutting tools or taps and dies used to cut
the thread cannot have efficient rake and relief angles
which makes the cutting slow and difficult.
The square thread form is a common screw
thread form, used in high load applications such
as lead screws and jack screws.
It gets its name from the square cross-section of
the
thread.
It is the lowest friction and most efficient thread
form, but it is difficult to fabricate
 The Acme thread form has a 29° thread
 angle with a thread height half of the pitch.
 The apex and valley are flat.
 This shape is easier to machine than is a
 square thread.
 The tooth shape also has a wider base which
 means it is stronger than a similarly sized
 square thread.
 This thread form also allows for the use of
 a split nut, which can compensate for nut wear.
 29° included angle.
 Easier to manufacture.
 Common choice for loading in both
 directions.
 Faster cutting.
 Longer tool life
 In machinery, the buttress thread form
 is designed to handle extremely high
 axial thrust in one direction.
 The load-bearing thread face is
 perpendicular to the screw axis or at a
 slight slant (usually not greater than 7°)
 The other face is slanted at 45
 Great strength.
 Only unidirectional loading.
A square thread power screw with a single
start
 is shown in figure.
 Here p is the pitch, α the helix angle, dm the
 mean diameter of thread and F is the axial
load.
 In order to analyze the mechanics of the
power
 screw we need to consider two cases:
 Raising the load
 Lowering the load.
Here work output = F. L
Work input = p. πdm
 The load would lower itself without any
 external force if
 πμdm < L
 And some external force is required to lower
 the load if
 πμdm >= L
 Therefore this the condition of self locking
 Ifcollar friction μc is considered then
another
 term μFdc/2 must be added to torque
 expression.
 Here dc is the effective friction diameter of
 the collar.
 Therefore we may write the torque required
 to raise the load as -
 Jack screws
 Lead screws of a lathe
 Screw for vices
 Presses
 C-clamps
 Instron material testing machines
 Machine tools (for positioning of
 table)
