• Power screws - continued
For power applications, a thrust collar is incorporated
In figure b, the force is shown to be concentrated around the
collar diameter dc
If fc is the friction coefficient on the collar, then

For large collars, the
torque should be
calculated similar to

• Thread stresses
Nominal body stress in power screws can be related to the
thread parameters as follows
Shear stress in general is expressed as

Screw-thread form is complicated from an analysis standpoint
At comes from experimentation
A power screw in compression is shortened
The engaging nut is lengthened
The engaged threads cannot share the load equally
Some experiments show that the first thread shares 0.38 of
the load, the second 0.25, the third 0.18 and the seventh is
free from load
Substituting 0.38F for F and nt = 1 will give the maximum
stress in a thread-nut combination

• Threaded fasteners
Stresses concentrated at the
fillet, at the start of the threads,
and the thread-root fillets
The thread length of metric
bolts, where D is the nominal
diameter in mm is given at right
Ideally, only one or two threads
should surpass the nut
Washers should always be used
to avoid stress concentrations
due to burrs

• Threaded fasteners
Washers should always be used to avoid stress concentrations
due to burrs
Rounded face should contact bolt head
Washers may be used under the nut too
Clamping load elongates the bolt
This elongation ensures a pre-load
Bolt should be held stationary so that no torsional loads be
imposed on the bolt body
During tightening of nuts, generally the first thread yields,
work hardens, and then spreads load over three threads
Nuts should not be reused
