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.

    CAD Data Limitations

    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. Unit assembly Data consists of some sub-assemblies.
      It is configured so that each sub-assembly unit can be used as it is or edited.

      3. * The part in the frame is a sub-assembly unit.

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

Application Overview

Purpose

  • Workpiece is roughly set on the manual presser. Using urethane mold bearings and lead screw mechanism, workpiece can be aligned against the presser.

Points for use

  • Manual unit is operated by aluminum knurled handwheel mounted on lead screws.

Target workpiece

  • Material: Resin
  • Shape: thin plate
  • Outer dimensions: W140 x D165 x t3 mm
  • Workpiece weight: 150g

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements

  • Alignment

    Refers to arranging objects in a line, or refers to adjustments made for that purpose.

    stroke: 19.5mm (for different workpieces, it can be extended up to 45 mm)
  • Outer dimensions: W183 x D430 x H136 mm

Required Performance

  • Required accuracy: 0.1 mm

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • Lead screw/nut
    • The rotary movement is converted to linear movement for manual positioning.
  • Urethane Molded Bearings
    • Selected to prevent workpieces from being damaged.

Design Evaluation

Other Design Consideration

  • For different size workpieces, a scale can be added to visually confirm proper positioning.
  • When pushing a workpiece against the presser, the operator has to confirm workpiece final position and avoid excessive handwheel rotation.
