ABSTRACT:
A high ratio screw actuated device used as a press to provide high pressure under small increments of movement which includes a frame or base for a housing rotatably carrying a screw having large pitch threads, a nut within said housing receiving said screw and having internal threads of the same pitch as the screw threads but a pitch diameter larger than the screw pitch diameter, a thrust/radial bearing encompassing said nut, a compression spring in said housing urging said nut downward, the free end of said screw carrying one piece of a two-piece die set, a guide rod having one end received in a socket in the frame, and a motor mounted on the guide rod for slidable movement thereof, the upper end of the screw terminating in a coupling receiving the drive end of the motor to engage the screw in rotational movement. A speed controller operated by a switch provides reversible rotation of the screw to advance and retract said screw and open and close the two-piece die, and a set screw acts to adjust the alignment of the centerlines of the screw and nut to adjust the ratio force of the press. Optionally, a torsion spring wrap clutch or resilient pawl engaging the nut outer surface prevents nut rotation in one direction which would otherwise prevent backing off of the screw.
