Objective
To determine the Mechanical Advantage, velocity ratio and Efficiency of simple screw
jack
Apparatus:-
Simple screw jack apparatus with two strings
Pan,
Weight set
Weights – sliding weight, 100 gm -4 No’s

THEORY:-
For lifting heavy loads, a machine named simple screw jack is used, it consist of a
screw, fitted in a nut, which forms the body of the jack. It works on the principle of screw
and nut , A simple screw jack is rotated by the application of an effort, at the other of the
lever, for lifting the load
Let D = Diameter of the flanged table
W= Load to be lifted
P=Effort required to lift the load
P= Pitch of screw
Suppose the flanged table be turned by one revolution
Therefore, the distance by the effort in one revolution =πD
Therefore, Velocity ratio is

Distance moved by the effort


V.R= ----------------------------------------

Experimental Procedure

1. Note down the pitch of the screw


2. Measure the circumference of the flanged table.
3. Measure the diameter of flanged table.
4. Wrap the string round the circumference of the flanged table and pass it over
one pulley .similarly wrap another string over the circumference of flanged table
and take it over the second pulley,
5. The free ends of both the string to be tied on pan/ hangers in which weight to be
placed.
6. Place a load W on the top of the flanged yable and start adding weights on to the
pans gradually till the load starts lifting P1 and P2 are the weights in the pans
7. Calculate MA, VR and efficiency
8. Repeat the above procedure by increasing the load on table and notr down the
corresponding efforts applied

Sample data sheet:-


1. Diameter of load table D=125 mm
2. Pitch of screw P= 2 mm
3. Weight of the pan =

RESULT
i. V.R. of machine =
ii. ii. Efficiency of machine = M.A. / V.R.=

PRECAUTIONS :-

 There should not be any overlapping of the strings


 Carefully measure pitch of screw.

 Effort handle move smoothly do not applied suddenly or jerking.

 Oiling & greasing should be properly.


 Effort arm measure very carefully
