Yük taşıyan kare dişli bir vidalı kriko düşünün. Vida, moment çıkarıldıktan sonra bile konumunu koruyorsa, buna kendinden kilitleme denir.
Bu, sürtünme kuvveti yönü tersine dönerse ve reaksiyon kuvveti ipliğin normal olan diğer tarafına etki ederse meydana gelir.
Burada, statik sürtünme açısı, kurşun açısına eşit veya daha büyük olabilir.
Kendinden kilitlemeli bir vidayı aşağı doğru sarmak için, vidaya ters yönde bir moment uygulanmalıdır. Kuvvetler için denge denklemleri uygulanarak anın büyüklüğü belirlenebilir.
Her iki açı da eşitse, reaksiyon dikey olarak hareket eder ve yükü, vida aşağı doğru sarılmanın eşiğinde olacak şekilde dengeler.
Sürtünme açısı kurşun açısından daha küçükse, vida kendiliğinden kilitlenmez ve vidanın aşağı doğru sarılmasını durdurmak için ters yönde bir moment uygulanır.
Bu moment, eğik düzlemde ipliğin kaymasını önleyen yatay bir kuvvet oluşturur. Serbest cisim diyagramından bu anın büyüklüğü belirlenebilir.

Q1: What makes a screw jack self-locking?
A screw jack is self-locking when it retains its position after the applied moment is removed. This occurs when the static friction angle is larger than or equal to the lead angle, causing the frictional force direction to reverse. The reaction force then acts on the opposite side of the thread's normal, preventing downward motion without external force.
Q2: How do friction angle and lead angle determine if a screw is self-locking?
When the static friction angle equals or exceeds the lead angle, the screw becomes self-locking and holds its load without additional moment. If the friction angle is smaller than the lead angle, the screw is not self-locking and requires an opposing moment to prevent downward winding. This relationship is fundamental to understanding screw jack behavior under load.
Q3: What moment is required to lower a self-locking screw?
To wind a self-locking screw downwards, a moment must be applied in the opposite direction of the initial loading. Using equilibrium equations for the forces acting on the screw, engineers can determine the magnitude of this required moment. The calculation depends on the load, thread geometry, and friction characteristics of the screw jack system.
Q4: What happens when friction angle equals the lead angle in a screw jack?
When the static friction angle equals the lead angle, the reaction force acts vertically, perfectly balancing the load. The screw reaches a state of equilibrium on the verge of winding downwards, maintaining its position without any additional moment. This critical condition represents the threshold between self-locking and non-self-locking behavior.
Q5: How does a non-self-locking screw behave under load?
In a non-self-locking screw, the static friction angle is smaller than the lead angle, allowing the screw to slide downward when the moment is removed. An opposing moment must be applied to prevent this downward winding. This opposing moment generates a horizontal force that prevents thread sliding on the inclined plane of the screw jack.
Q6: Why is self-locking important in screw jack design?
Self-locking capability makes a screw jack more effective and reliable by eliminating the need for continuous force to maintain load position. This feature is crucial for safety-critical applications where load retention is essential. Engineers select appropriate screw parameters based on friction and lead angle relationships to achieve desired self-locking behavior for specific applications.
Q7: How can you determine the moment needed to prevent downward winding?
For non-self-locking screws, the required opposing moment can be determined by analyzing the free-body diagram and applying equilibrium equations. The horizontal force generated by this moment prevents thread sliding on the inclined plane. This analysis is essential for designing screw jacks that operate safely and effectively under specified load conditions.
