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.

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.

- (1) Steel (lubricated) - Brass
- (2) Steel (unlubricated) - Resin
(1) Contact surface pressure P (N/mm²)
- Fs: Shaft axial load(N)
- F 0 : Allowable Dynamic Thrust (N) -> Nuts for Lead Screw Specifications
Thrust when contact surface pressure of the lead screw and nut becomes 9.8 (N/mm²). - α: 9.8(Brass) 0.98(Resin)
(2) Sliding speed V (m/min)
- d2: Screw shaft effective Dia. -> From lead screw specifications table
- d: Screw Shaft Lead Angle (degree) -> Lead Screw Specifications
- n: Screw shaft rotation per minute (nim-1)
(3) Screw efficiency η
- μ: dynamic friction coefficient
- d: Screw shaft lead angle (deg.)

IDEA NOTE Simplified positioning (alignment) mechanism
Linear positioning is performed by utilizing a lead screw. Lead screw converts rotary motion from the handwheel to linear movement.
