Technical calculations

■Lead screw・Lead screw nut selection steps

Calculate Contact Pressure P and Sliding Velocity V based on conditions of use to check that no abnormal wear will occur.
Plot the calculated P and V values against the PV value graph and confirm the intersection.
If the intersection falls inside of line (1) and (2), it is determined that abnormal wear would not occur.

Determine conditions of use.

Lead screw・lead screw nut temporary selection

Calculate (1) Contact Pressure P, (2) Sliding Velocity V,
Confirm if it is inside of (1) and (2) on PV value graph.

Calculate screw efficiency η and load torque T.

Application Overview

Purpose

  • Workpiece is roughly set on the manual presser. Using urethane mold bearings and lead screw mechanism, workpiece can be aligned against the presser.

Points for use

  • Manual unit is operated by aluminum knurled handwheel mounted on lead screws.

Target workpiece

  • Material: Resin
  • Shape: thin plate
  • Outer dimensions: W140 x D165 x t3 mm
  • Workpiece weight: 150g

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements

  • Alignment

    Refers to arranging objects in a line, or refers to adjustments made for that purpose.

    stroke: 19.5mm (for different workpieces, it can be extended up to 45 mm)
  • Outer dimensions: W183 x D430 x H136 mm

Required Performance

  • Required accuracy: 0.1 mm

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • Lead screw/nut
    • The rotary movement is converted to linear movement for manual positioning.
  • Urethane Molded Bearings
    • Selected to prevent workpieces from being damaged.

Design Evaluation

Other Design Consideration

  • For different size workpieces, a scale can be added to visually confirm proper positioning.
  • When pushing a workpiece against the presser, the operator has to confirm workpiece final position and avoid excessive handwheel rotation.
