Maximum loading on 36mm Thread
Maximum loading on 36mm Thread
(OP)
Hi
I have been trying to calculate the maximum load that can be applied to a 36 mm thread
I need to load one with 60000 Kg
The thread is screwed in a shaft approx. 40mm in depth
could you please assist me in anyway
Much appreciated
William

RE: Maximum loading on 36mm Thread
To calculate this, you will need to provide the answers to these questions:
What is the thread form (Acme, Buttress, 60 degree)?
What is the externally threaded member material? Yield strength, tensile strength?
What is the internally threaded member material? Yield strength, tensile strength?
Is the 60 000 kg acted upon by Earth's full gravity? Are there any other forces?

RE: Maximum loading on 36mm Thread
If you use the lowest strength, non-heat treated grade (property class 3.6), then the proof load drops to 147,000 N for coarse and 156,000 N for fine.
