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.

    Cautions on the CAD data

    1. Assembly data shows the assembly drawings in the concept design phase. The sole purpose of the data is to explain the structure and functionality of the assembly and is not considered nor to be used as a final design.
      You will need to edit the Data so that it meets your specific design conditions.
    2. The CAD data unit assembly consists of sub-assemblies.
      Each sub-assembly unit can be used as it is or can be edited.
    3. * The part in the frame is a sub-assembly unit.

    4. The Data for fabricated parts is based on easy-to-edit dimensions and shapes in sketches and histories.
    5. The Data including the third-part components are made by the Company.

Required Performance

  • Required accuracy: 0.1mm

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • Lead screw/nut
    • The rotary movement is converted to linear movement for manual positioning.
