Efficiency of Screw Jack when only Screw Friction is Considered Calculator

Calculate Efficiency of Screw Jack





Formula

The formula to calculate the Efficiency is:

\[ \eta = \frac{\tan(\psi)}{\tan(\psi + \Phi)} \]

Definition

The Efficiency of an electric motor is defined as the ratio of usable shaft power to electric input power.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \eta = \frac{\tan(0.4363323129985)}{\tan(0.4363323129985 + 0.21816615649925)} = 0.607703971657782 \]
