How to choose the right power screw dimensions given the maximum load

AI Thread Summary
To choose the right power screw dimensions for a jockey wheel design, it's essential to calculate the screw diameter based on the maximum load and relevant parameters such as torque and efficiency. The design must adhere to the Metric Trapezoidal thread ISO 2904 specifications. Resources like the Machinery's Handbook can provide valuable information on screw design and calculations. Understanding the relationship between load, screw dimensions, and thread type is crucial for effective engineering solutions. Utilizing these resources will aid in achieving the project requirements successfully.

TL;DR Summary
Choosing an appropriate Metric ISO 2904 Power Screw given the maximum load
Hi, So I have a uni project and were required to design a jockey wheel and corresponding power screw. We're given a maximum load and have to do the relevant calculations, moment of torque, efficiency etc. My question is I don't understand how to take the given maximum load and find the relevant screw diameter and dimensions, the screw we have to use must be a Metric Trapezoidal thread ISO 2904. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
