Introduction:
A screw jack is a device or a machine which is used to lift heavy loads by a small effort with a mechanism
of screw and nut.

We are designing a car-jack that lifts a max weight of 2 tons

Stress analysis
W=2000*9.81=19620 N

First analyzing equilibrium of point C

∑Fx=0

FCA cos 45-FCB cos45=0→ FCA= FCB

∑Fy=0

2Fcos45 – 19620=0 → F=13873.4 N

@point B

∑Fy=0

FBDsin45-13873.4 sin 45=0 → FBD=13873.4 N

∑Fx=0

13873.4cos45+13873.4cos45-FAB=0 → FAB=19620N

dc=21 mm → take dc=22.5

choosing ACME thread and knowing dc=22.5 we get form

we have 2 threads so m=2

tan 𝛼 = 𝜋∗𝑑𝑝 = 𝜋∗25.5 →𝛼 = 7.115°

Considering max shear stress theory:-

σmax=.5√𝜎 2 + 4𝜏 2 =50.67 Mpa

considering max normal stress:-

Bearing pressure (𝜎)=W/A

𝜎 = 𝑁∗𝜋/4(282 −22.52 ) :N is no. of threads in contact

We have 2 nuts assume each one of length(L) 40mm →total L=80

Taking F.s=3

𝜎𝑦/3 ≥ 𝜎
𝜎𝑦 = 𝜎 ∗ 3=39.44 Mpa

Chosen material is Al wrought 2017 with 𝜎𝑦 = 70𝑀𝑝𝑎 , 𝜎𝑢𝑡 = 179

Shear stress

Resisting area (A)= 4 ∗ (𝐷 2 − 𝑑𝑜 2 ) : D is outer diameter of nut
19620
W/A= 𝜎𝑡 → 𝜋/4(𝐷2 −282 ) = 179 → 𝐷 = 30.4 ≅ 35 𝑚𝑚
