Lead Screw diameter for lifting 200Kgs

AI Thread Summary
For lifting a weight of 200 kg using a lead screw, a diameter of around 1 inch (25 mm) is suggested as a good starting point, depending on the length for rigidity. Trapezoidal threads and nuts are being used in the application. It's recommended to consult suppliers like Nook Industries and Thomson Linear for specific specifications and recommendations. A smaller screw diameter could suffice for a one-time lift but may lead to quicker wear. Proper specifications are crucial for ensuring durability and effectiveness in the application.

Hi
I one of my application i am using the lead screw arrangement to lift 200kg weight using handle
I used trapezoidal thread and nut.
Could anybody suggest the diameter required for lifting the weight of 200kg

Look up "Nook industries", They make lots of lead screws, and would have specs for them... Depending on the length (for rigidity) 1" / 25mm would be a good starting point

Thomson Linear is another
 
Definitely look up recommendations and specifications from a good supplier. If you want to lift the load once you can get away with a much smaller screw diameter (and therefore smaller thread area), at the cost of rapid wear out.
 
Thanx, I will look into that and get the specifications and will get back if I need some more details
 

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
