Answer:
This is self locking.
Explanation:
Given that
Diameter d= 40 mm
Pitch (P)= 6 mm
Torque T= 1 KN.m
Friction(μ) = 0.1
Thread is double square.
Condition for self locking
[tex]\mu >tan\theta[/tex]
[tex]tan\theta=\dfrac{L} {\pi d}[/tex]
L= n x P
N= number of start
Here given that double start so n=2
L=2 x 6 = 12 mm
[tex]tan\theta=\dfrac{L} {\pi d}[/tex]
[tex]tan\theta=\dfrac{12} {\pi \times 40}[/tex]
[tex]tan\theta=0.095[/tex] (μ = 0.1)
[tex]\mu >tan\theta[/tex]
So from we can that this is self locking.
