Required information
For the C clamp shown, a force is applied at the end of the 0.375 in diameter handle. The screw is a \(0.75\mathrm{in}-6\mathrm{Acme}\) thread (from Figure 8-3), and is 10.80 in long overall, with a maximum of 8 in possible in the clamping region. The handle and screw are both made from cold-drawn AISI 1006 steel. The coefficients of friction for the screw and the collar are 0.15. The collar, which in this case is the anvil striker's swivel joint, has a friction diameter of 1 in . It is desired that the handle will yield before the screw will fail.
where \(\mathrm{L}=3.900\) in
Using the force, determine the factor of safety for yielding at the interface of the screw body and the base of the first engaged thread, assuming the first thread carries 38 percent of the total clamping force. (Round the final answer to three decimal places.)
The factor of safety is
