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 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
