Sb=61.2134Pa

Unit Bearing Pressure Formula Elements

Variables
Constants
Unit Bearing Pressure
Unit Bearing Pressure is the average pressure acting on the contact surface of the thread in a Screw-Nut pair.
Symbol: Sb
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Force on Unit
Force on Unit is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. In other words, a force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity.
Symbol: F
Measurement: ForceUnit: kN
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Number of Threads
Number of Threads is total no. of threads in a screw.
Symbol: n
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Nominal Diameter
Nominal Diameter is the actual diameter of the screw.
Symbol: dn
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Core Diameter
Core Diameter is defined as the smallest diameter of the thread of the screw or nut. The term “minor diameter” replaces the term “core diameter” as applied to the thread of a screw.
Symbol: Dc
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Archimedes' constant
Archimedes' constant is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
Symbol: π
Value: 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

How to Evaluate Unit Bearing Pressure?

Unit Bearing Pressure evaluator uses Unit Bearing Pressure = (4*Force on Unit)/(pi*Number of Threads*(Nominal Diameter^2-Core Diameter^2)) to evaluate the Unit Bearing Pressure, The unit bearing pressure is the bearing pressure of contacting surfaces of the screw and the nut. Unit Bearing Pressure is denoted by Sb symbol.

How to evaluate Unit Bearing Pressure using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Unit Bearing Pressure, enter Force on Unit (F), Number of Threads (n), Nominal Diameter (dn) & Core Diameter (Dc) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Unit Bearing Pressure

What is the formula to find Unit Bearing Pressure?
The formula of Unit Bearing Pressure is expressed as Unit Bearing Pressure = (4*Force on Unit)/(pi*Number of Threads*(Nominal Diameter^2-Core Diameter^2)). Here is an example- 61.21344 = (4*0.2)/(pi*16*(0.018^2-0.008^2)).
How to calculate Unit Bearing Pressure?
With Force on Unit (F), Number of Threads (n), Nominal Diameter (dn) & Core Diameter (Dc) we can find Unit Bearing Pressure using the formula - Unit Bearing Pressure = (4*Force on Unit)/(pi*Number of Threads*(Nominal Diameter^2-Core Diameter^2)). This formula also uses Archimedes' constant .
Can the Unit Bearing Pressure be negative?
No, the Unit Bearing Pressure, measured in Pressure cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Unit Bearing Pressure?
Unit Bearing Pressure is usually measured using the Pascal[Pa] for Pressure. Kilopascal[Pa], Bar[Pa], Pound Per Square Inch[Pa] are the few other units in which Unit Bearing Pressure can be measured.
