8–7 For the screw clamp shown, a force is applied at the end of
the handle 3.5
in from the screw
centerline. The 3/8
in diameter handle is made of cold-drawn AISI 1006 steel. The screw
is
3/4
in-10 UNC and is 8 in long, overall. The maximum possible length of
screw in the clamping
region is 6 in.
(a) What screw torque will cause the handle to bend
permanently?
(b) What clamping force will the answer to part (a) cause if the
collar friction is neglected and
if the thread friction is 0.15?
(c) What clamping force will cause the screw to buckle?
(d) Are there any other stresses or possible failures to be
checked?
