Question:(i) State and explain two most important reasons for adopting involute curves for a gear tooth profileAnswer:
For power transmission gears, the tooth form most commonly used the involute profile as a)Involute gears can be manufactured easily: Since the rack in an involute system has straight sides and since the generating cutters usually have rack profile, these cutters can be easily manufactured. Involute gears can be produced more accurately and at a lesser cost. b) The gearing has a feature that enables smooth meshing despite the misalignment of center ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Question:(i) Show that the efficiency of a self locking screw is less than 50%Answer: (i) efficiency of screw η = tan α / tan(α +φ) And for self locking screws, φ ≥α or α≤ φ Efficiency ≤ tan(φ) /tan(φ +φ) ≤ tan φ/tan 2 φ ≤tan φ/ (2 tan φ/(1-tan2 φ)) ≤tan φ X (1-tan2 φ)/ (2 tan φ) ≤ ½-tan2 φ/2 From this expression efficiency of self locking screw is less than 50% ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Question:What is self locking property of threads and where it is necessary?Answer: self locking property of the threads-if φ > α the torque required to lower the load will be positive, indicating that an effort is applied to lower the load. if friction angle is greater than the helix angle or coefficient of friction is greater than the tangent of helix angle applications- for very large use of screw in threaded fastener, screws in screw top container lids, vices, C-clamps and screw jacks ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Question:Explain the terms self locking and overhauling of screw.Answer: self locking property - torque required to lower the load, T= Wtan(φ - α)xd/2 self locking property of the threads-if φ > α the torque required to lower the the load will be positive, indicating that an effort is applied to lower the load. if friction angle is greater than the helix angle or coefficient of friction is greater than the tangent of helix angle(2marks) Over hauling of screwsin the above expression, if φ< α,then the torque required to lower the load will be negative. The load will start moving downward without the application of any torque, such a condition is known as over hauling of screws. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Question:Why square threads are preferred over V-thread for power transmission ?Answer: . Square threads are preferred over V-thread for power transmission because of following points. 1) Square thread has the greatest efficiency as its profile angle is zero. 2) It produces minimum bursting pressure on the nut. 3) It has more transmission efficiency due to less friction. 4) It transmits power without any side thrust in either direction. 5) It is more smooth and noiseless operation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Question:A screw jack is used to lift a load of 50 kN through a maximum lift of 200 mm. The material used for a screw is steel of allowable stresses in tension and compression as 100 N/mm2 and 50 N/mm2 respectively. The pitch of screw is 8 mm. The nut is made of phosphor bronze with allowable stresses as 50 N/mm2 and 45 N/mm2 in tension and crushing. The allowable shear stress for nut material is 40 N/mm2 . The allowable bearing pressure between nut and screw is not to exceed 20 N/mm2 . If the coefficient of friction between screw and nut is 0.14, design the screw and nutAnswer:

Question:Explain different forms of threads with their relative advantages and applications.Answer: Square threadsSquare threads are the most commonly used thread form for the power screws. Following table gives you various thread forms and comparisons.
Sq. threads Advantages and disadvantagesThe advantages of sq. threads are as follows: 1) Efficiency of sq. threads is more than trapezoidal threads 2) There is no side thrust or radial pressure. The disadvantages of sq. threads are, 1) Sq. threads are difficult to manufacture than trapezoidal threads. 2) The wear of sq. threads can not be compensated as it can be done in trapezoidal. 3) The thread thickness at core is less than trapezoidal, hence sq. threads have less load carrying capacity.

Question:A vertical double start square threaded screw of 120 mm mean diameter and 24 mm pitch supports a vertical load of 20 kN. The axial thrust in screw is taken by collar bearings of 300 mm outside and 150 mm inside diameter. Find the force required at the end of the lever which is 400 mm long in order to lift and lower the load. The coefficient of friction for screw and nut is 0.18 and for collar bearing it is 0.25.Answer:
