The trapezoidal lead screw with a screw lift angle less than 5°has self-locking performance,after the lead screw is run to a certain position,the load can be maintained without the aid of brakes and other holding devices.Self-lock lead screw provides a higher safety factor when the motor stalls.And provides more selection schemes for designers in terms of functions.
●Lead screw self-locking calculation formula
Because of the thread profile characteristics of trapezoidal lead screw,so the spiral angle ⋋ of different specifications screw is not the same,and the equivalent friction coefficient fv between screw nuts of different materials is also different.Then apply a positive pressure F to the nut at the rated load,leadscrew and nut cannot slip when the helix angle ⋋ is less than the equivalent friction angle R,this condition called self-locking of screw.
