How to check the stability of the lifting spindle of the screw jack and the linear actuator


Screw stability verification: known load 100KN, stroke 500mm, speed 60mm/min, no guide rail, usage coefficient 1.5, low operating frequency, calculated model For (Heavy Duty Electric Linear Actuator model SCA200-V1-500-FL-P2):

lifting Screw specification Tr80*12

1. Known conditions

Load F=100KN=100,000N

Stroke S=500mm

Speed v=60mm/min

Usage coefficient K=1.5

Screw specification Tr80*12 (diameter 80mm, pitch 12mm)

2. Analysis of screw force

The screw mainly bears the axial load, so we need to calculate the stress of the screw under the axial load.

• Screw diameter d=80mm=0.08m

•Screw cross-sectional area A=π (2d)2= π(20.08)2=0.005027㎡

•Axial load Fax=K*F=1.5×100,00N=150,000N

3. Calculation of screw stress

Screw stress o =AFax=0.00502715000=2983866.67Pa

4. Check the stability of the screw

For the stability of the screw, we mainly pay attention to whether it will flex. Since the screw is usually installed on the fixed bracket and its length is relatively short (500mm), the possibility of buckling is relatively small. However, in order to evaluate more accurately, we can use Euler's formula to estimate the critical bending load of the screw.

1. Screw length=500mm=0.5m

2. The elastic modulus of the screw material E (set to steel, E≈210GPa=210×109Pa)

3. Screw moment of inertia I=π 64d4= π64×(0.08)4=2.01062×10-7m4

Eular critical load Fcr can be calculated by the following formula:

Fcr=12 π2EI=(0.5)2π 2×210×109×2.01062×10-7=2,649,444.44N

Because Fax=150,000N<Fcr=2,649, 444.44N, the screw is stable under axial load.

5. Summary
After calculation, it is confirmed that the screw (specification is Tr80*12) equipped with the linear actuator model SCA200-V1-500-FL-P2 is at a load of 100KN, stroke of 500mm, speed of 60mm/min, and a coefficient of use of 1.5 And the linear actuator is stable under the condition of low working frequency.

introduction of screw jack's ratio

The transmission ratio of a worm gear screw lift (often just called a worm gear) refers to the ratio between the number of turns the worm (the driving gear) makes for one complete revolution of the worm wheel (the driven gear). This ratio dictates how much mechanical advantage is gained through the system, and also influences the speed reduction and torque increase.

Factors Related to the Transmission Ratio:

  1. Lead of the Worm:

    • The lead is the distance the nut (or worm wheel) moves along its axis per one complete revolution of the worm. It plays a direct role in the transmission ratio.
    • A higher lead results in a faster movement of the worm wheel, but with a higher mechanical advantage (lower ratio) as the gear ratio is influenced by how far the worm travels per turn.
  2. Number of Teeth on the Worm Wheel:

    • The number of teeth on the worm wheel relative to the number of threads on the worm also affects the ratio.
    • In general, the more teeth on the worm wheel relative to the worm, the lower the transmission ratio.
  3. Number of Threads on the Worm:

    • Worms can have one or more threads (called single-start or multi-start worms).
    • A multi-start worm will reduce the transmission ratio, as each turn of the worm moves the worm wheel by a larger distance.
  4. Pitch of the Worm:

    • The pitch (distance between adjacent threads) also influences the ratio. A finer pitch (smaller thread spacing) typically results in a higher transmission ratio.
  5. Friction and Efficiency:

    • Worm gears have a high frictional contact between the worm and the worm wheel, which can influence the effective transmission ratio, especially at higher loads.
    • Efficiency is typically lower in worm gears compared to other types of gears, which can cause some discrepancy between the theoretical and actual ratio.

How to Calculate the Transmission Ratio:

The transmission ratio can be calculated using the following formula:

Transmission Ratio=Number of Teeth on the Worm WheelNumber of Threads on the Worm=ZwZs\text{Transmission Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of Teeth on the Worm Wheel}}{\text{Number of Threads on the Worm}} = \frac{Z_w}{Z_s}

Where:

  • ZwZ_w = Number of teeth on the worm wheel.
  • ZsZ_s = Number of starts (threads) on the worm.

Example:

If the worm wheel has 40 teeth and the worm has a 2-start thread, the transmission ratio would be:

Transmission Ratio=402=20\text{Transmission Ratio} = \frac{40}{2} = 20

This means for each full rotation of the worm, the worm wheel will turn 1/20th of a rotation.

Additional Considerations:

  • Self-locking feature: Worm gears often have a self-locking property, where the worm can drive the worm wheel but the worm wheel cannot drive the worm. This property comes into play in applications like screw lifts where load holding is important.

Reasons for using electric actuators in photovoltaic power generation

electric linear actuators


Regardless of whether it is a standard electric linear actuator, a small-sized actuator, or even a micro actuator, these devices have seen strong development and application across various industries. One common aspect of their use is their significant role in the renewable energy sector. Here, we will focus on the development of electric actuators in the field of photovoltaic (PV) power generation.

1. Reasons for Applying Electric Actuators in the Photovoltaic Industry
The idea of using electric linear actuators in PV systems emerged due to the high cost of solar panels, which greatly limited the widespread adoption of such products. Under these circumstances, there was a strong need for alternative products, leading to further development of electric electric linear actuators.

2. Development of Electric Actuators in the PV Industry
From the early stages of technology to the present day, photovoltaic power generation has evolved from expensive solar cells to more cost-effective polycrystalline silicon cells, with a significant expansion in application fields. During this process, the use of components has also changed. In the past, fixed brackets were mostly used in power generation systems. However, the current trend has shifted toward actuator-based tracking systems.

3. Recognition of Electric Actuators in the PV Industry
Due to the high efficiency and stability of actuator-based tracking systems, they have received widespread recognition from both the government and industry peers. This has further encouraged investment in this area, ushering in a promising period of development for electric linear actuator tracking systems.

4. Categories of Electric Actuator-Based PV Tracking Systems
This power generation model can be broadly classified into two main types: single-axis linked tracking systems and dual-axis tracking systems. Regardless of the type, electric linear actuators serve as the driving force for these tracking systems. Because of this, strict requirements are placed on their service life—they must match the lifespan of the solar panels in order to maximize the overall efficiency of the PV power generation system.

Electric Actuator-Based PV Tracking Systems

What does the different gear ratio of a worm gear screw jack mean?


The gear ratio (also called the transmission ratio) of a worm gear screw jack refers to the ratio between the rotational speed of the worm and the rotational speed of the screw, usually expressed as the ratio of the worm's speed to the screw's speed. The gear ratio directly affects the speed and output torque of the screw jack.

Meaning of Gear Ratio:

Definition of Gear Ratio:
The gear ratio (Transmission Ratio) is the transmission ratio between the worm wheel and the worm, usually represented by the ratio of the number of teeth on the worm wheel to the number of threads on the worm. For example, if the worm wheel has 50 teeth and the worm has 10 threads, the gear ratio would be 5:1.

Impact on Speed:
The gear ratio determines the relationship between the rotational speed of the worm and the screw. The larger the gear ratio, the slower the worm's speed and the slower the screw's lifting speed. Therefore, a higher gear ratio will slow down the screw's movement, which is suitable for applications requiring precise control. A lower gear ratio will result in faster screw movement, which is suitable for quick lifting needs.

Impact on Torque:
The larger the gear ratio, the greater the torque transmitted from the worm to the screw. In cases of heavy loads, a larger gear ratio can provide higher output torque, allowing the jack to support heavier loads.

  • Low Gear Ratio (e.g., 1:1 or 3:1) typically provides higher speed but lower output torque, making it suitable for light load, high-speed applications.

  • High Gear Ratio (e.g., 10:1 or 20:1) provides greater torque, making it suitable for applications requiring higher load capacity and precision, but with slower speed.

Gear Ratio and Application Scenarios:

Higher Gear Ratio (e.g., 20:1, 30:1):

  • Suitable for high-load, low-speed applications. Due to lower speed, it provides greater torque, making it ideal for heavy-duty equipment or precision-controlled applications, such as precision lifting platforms and large machinery.

  • Typical Applications: Lifting platforms, heavy-duty cranes, precision machinery.

Lower Gear Ratio (e.g., 3:1, 5:1):

  • Suitable for light-load, high-speed applications. Due to the smaller gear ratio, the speed is higher, but the torque is lower, making it suitable for applications that require faster movement but are not designed for heavy loads.

  • Typical Applications: Light-duty conveyor systems, automated production lines, etc.

Impact of Gear Ratio on Self-locking Performance:

Worm gear screw jacks often feature a self-locking function, meaning that when the worm stops turning, the friction generated by the engagement between the worm and the worm wheel prevents the load from automatically sliding down. When the gear ratio is larger, the self-locking ability is stronger, because the engagement angle between the worm and the worm wheel is greater, making it more difficult for the load to move in the opposite direction.


What's the difference between Worm Gear Screw Jack and Bevel Gear Screw Jack?

1. Gear Mechanism

  • Worm Gear Screw Jack: Uses a worm gear mechanism, where a worm (screw) engages with a worm wheel (gear) to transmit motion. The worm gear reduces speed while increasing torque.

  • Bevel Gear Screw Jack: Uses bevel gears, which are conical gears designed to transmit motion between intersecting shafts, typically at a 90-degree angle.

2. Speed and Efficiency

  • Worm Gear Screw Jack: Generally slower but provides higher torque and self-locking capability.

  • Bevel Gear Screw Jack: Offers higher efficiency and faster speed but may require a brake system to prevent back-driving.

3. Load Handling Capacity

  • Worm Gear Screw Jack: Suitable for heavier loads due to its high torque output.

  • Bevel Gear Screw Jack: More suited for applications where high-speed movement and moderate load handling are required.

4. Self-Locking Feature

  • Worm Gear Screw Jack: Typically self-locking, meaning it can hold a load in position without additional braking.

  • Bevel Gear Screw Jack: Not usually self-locking, so an external brake or locking mechanism may be needed.

5. Efficiency & Power Consumption

  • Worm Gear Screw Jack: Less efficient due to friction in the worm gear system, leading to higher power consumption.

  • Bevel Gear Screw Jack: More efficient with lower power consumption due to better mechanical advantage.

6. Application Suitability

  • Worm Gear Screw Jack: Used in applications requiring high force, stability, and safety, such as lifting platforms, heavy machinery, and presses.

  • Bevel Gear Screw Jack: Ideal for applications needing high-speed movement with moderate force, such as automation systems, conveyor adjustments, and stage lifting.


You can choose the appropriate lift according to your working conditions.You can choose the appropriate lifter according to your working conditions. If it is slow, low frequency and self-locking, the worm gear screw lifter is suitable. If it is fast and high frequency, then the bevel gear lifter is suitable.


Why can't the load of servo electric cylinder be too large?

servo electric cylinders

The load capacity of servo electric cylinders cannot be very high mainly due to the following reasons:


1. Servo motor power limitations: Servo electric cylinders are driven by servo motors, which have limited power. When the load is too large, the motor may not be able to provide sufficient torque to move the load, potentially resulting in motor overload or even burnout.

2. Transmission system limitations: Servo electric cylinders typically use mechanical transmission components (such as gears or ball screws) to transfer motion from the motor to the load. Excessive load can put too much stress on these components, leading to wear, damage, or failure.

3. Control system responsiveness: Servo control systems regulate motor operation by adjusting current and voltage. When the load is too heavy, the system may not be able to control the motor precisely, leading to positioning errors, system shutdowns, or overload protection activation.


4. Efficiency issues: High loads can reduce the operational efficiency of the electric cylinder, causing increased heat generation. Excessive load may also affect the effectiveness of the cooling system, raising the system temperature and shortening the lifespan of the electric cylinder.


5. Decreased precision and stability: Servo electric cylinders are typically designed to deliver high-precision motion within a specified load range. Overloading can reduce accuracy and compromise system stability, possibly causing vibrations or abnormal noises.

Therefore, when selecting a servo electric cylinder, it is essential to choose a model that matches the specific application requirements. Ensuring the load remains within the design limits of the cylinder is critical to avoid overload and ensure reliable operation.

Stainless steel high-temperature magnetic pumps are widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, electroplating and other industries due to their excellent corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance. For different working conditions and media, the following factors should be considered when selecting:

 

①. Medium characteristic selection [acid and alkali resistant pump, high-temperature medium transportation]

 

·Corrosive media: Select 316L or 904L stainless steel material, 904L has better tolerance to strong acids and alkalis.

 

·High-temperature media: Standard type can be selected below 200℃, and high-temperature special type needs to be selected for 200-350℃.

·Particle-containing media: Standard type can be selected for particle content <5%, wear-resistant type or larger gap design needs to be selected for >5%.

 

·Easy to crystallize media: Models with insulation jackets should be selected to prevent the medium from crystallizing in the pump.

2. Detailed explanation of technical parameters of mainstream models [Magnetic pump parameters Pump performance curve]

 

 

①. Models and parameters of chemical pumps such as CQB and IHF

CQB, IHF and other chemical pumps

②. Key performance parameters

·Flow rate: Select according to process requirements, it is recommended to leave a 10-15% margin

·Lift: Consider pipeline loss and vertical lifting height

·Temperature: The actual working temperature should be lower than the rated temperature of the pump by more than 20°C

·Power: Adjust according to the specific gravity and viscosity of the medium, high viscosity medium requires increased power.

 

3. Professional selection steps and usage suggestions

 

①. Five-step selection method

· Clearly define the characteristics of the medium: including composition, concentration, temperature, viscosity, particle content, etc.

· Determine process parameters: flow, head, inlet and outlet pressure, etc.

· Select materials: Select the appropriate stainless steel grade according to the corrosiveness of the medium

· Consider special needs: such as explosion-proof, aseptic, wear-resistant and other special requirements

· Check supporting equipment: motor power, cooling system, control system, etc.

 

②. Key points for the use and maintenance of magnetic pumps

· Installation: Ensure that the inlet has sufficient net positive suction head (NPSHa)

· Before starting: The pump must be primed and dry operation is strictly prohibited

· During operation: Monitor the bearing temperature, which should not exceed the ambient temperature +70℃

· Shutdown maintenance: The medium should be drained for long-term shutdown to prevent crystallization or corrosion

③. Common selection errors

· Ignoring the impact of medium temperature changes on pump performance

· Underestimating the pipeline resistance and resulting in insufficient head

· Ignoring the correction of medium viscosity to pump performance

· Selecting too large a safety margin leads to energy waste

 

Through the above guidelines, users can choose the most suitable stainless steel high-temperature magnetic pump model according to specific working conditions and medium characteristics to ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment and improve production efficiency. It is recommended to consult professional technicians or pump manufacturers before the final selection to obtain more accurate selection suggestions.
