I was thinking the same, there is no relation between overhauling and efficiency. Overhauling means screw will automatically lower the load. Technically negative torque required to lower the load ie. Friction angle < lead angle. But it can be also proved by using maths efficiency >50% for overhauling.

Interlocking :Torque =+ve.

(Friction angle >helix angle),
efficiency<50%.

Overhauling: Torque=-ve.
(friction angle <helix angle).
Efficiency>50%.

A screw is said to be self hauling if efficiency is >50%.

A screw will be self-locking if and only if its efficiency is below 50%.

Madhu said:   8 years ago
It is a self-locking screw.

What the screw is called when efficiency less than 50%?

Irfan Jalse said:   1 decade ago
Self locking screw requires positive torque for advancement. Hence its efficiency is less.

Gaurav kumar said:   1 decade ago
Why efficiency of a self locking is 50%? Can it be increase?

K RAMESH said:   1 decade ago
Efficiency of a self locking screw is 50%, for efficiency greater than 50% the screw is said to be overhauling screw.

Overhauling screw has negative tangential force (friction angle < helix angle).
