• Single threaded so lead ‘l’ will be equal to the pitch of screw

• Friction coefficient ‘f’, generally the material used for power screws is steel for the screw and the nut is made of bronze. Value is between 0.10-0.15.

λ is a factor determined by the ball-screw support method where:

One end fixed and the other free, λ = 0.59π

Both ends simply supported, λ = π

One end fixed and the other simply supported, λ = 1.25π

Both ends fixed, λ = 1.49π

Static Analysis of the Ball Screw in Solidworks

• Mathematical model in FEM software ABAQUS.

• 3D model is to be checked for deflection in real conditions.

• Boundary conditions and forces applied are shown in Figure .

• Gravity is also taken into account to make the analysis more realistic.

• Maximum deflection due to static loading to be 0.28 mm
