order to drive the tool carriage. The thrust is carried on a collar 110 mm
outside diameter and 55 mm inside diameter and the lead screw rotates
at 30 r.p.m. Determine [8]

ii) the efficiency of the lead screw. Assume a coefficient of friction of
0.15 for the screw and 0.12 for the collar. Also state the condition
of screw.

Q2) a) A power screw having double start square threads of 25 mm nominal
diameter and 5 mm pitch is acted upon by an axial load of 10 kN. The
outer and inner diameters of screw collar are 50 mm and 20 mm
