Q.1. The press shown for Figure.1 has a rated load
of 22 kN. The twin screws have double start Acme
threads, a diameter of 50 mm, and a pitch of 6 mm.
Coefficients of friction are 0.05 for the threads and
0.08 for the collar bearings. Collar diameters are 90
mm. The gears have an efficiency of 95 percent and a
speed ratio of 60:1. A slip clutch, on the motor shaft,
prevents overloading. The full-load motor speed is
1720 rev/min.
