Screw Jack API

healthy 4,613 Subscribers

Power-screw (lead-screw and screw-jack) mechanics as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The torque endpoint computes the torque to raise and to lower a load on a power screw from the load, the mean thread diameter, the lead (given directly or as pitch × starts) and the coefficient of friction: T_raise = (W·dm/2)·(L + π·μ′·dm)/(π·dm − μ′·L), with the matching lower torque, the lead angle, the efficiency (W·L ÷ 2π·T_raise) and whether the screw is self-locking (it is when the effective friction is at least the tangent of the lead angle). Square threads are the default; pass a thread angle (for example 29° for an ACME thread) and it applies the effective friction μ/cos(half-angle). The effort endpoint turns that torque into the hand force on a lever or handle and the resulting mechanical advantage. The travel endpoint relates turns, lift distance and — with an rpm — the linear speed and time. Lengths are in millimetres, load in newtons and torque in newton-metres. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Thread friction only — add collar/thrust friction separately. Ideal for machine-design and mechanism tools, jack, press, vice and clamp design, maker and robotics projects, and engineering calculators. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is power-screw mechanics; for the geometry of a screw thread use a thread API and for bolt tightening torque use a torque API.

Slider-Crank Mechanism API

Slider-crank (piston-crank) mechanism kinematics as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The position endpoint takes the crank radius, the connecting-rod length and the crank angle from top dead centre and returns the exact piston displacement from TDC, x = r(1−cosθ) + l(1 − √(1−λ²sin²θ)) with λ = r/l, the piston-pin distance from the crank axis, the connecting-rod swing angle φ = asin(λ·sinθ), the stroke (2r), the rod ratio n = l/r and the fraction of stroke travelled. The velocity endpoint adds the crank speed (as rpm or angular velocity) and returns the exact piston velocity, v = ω·[r·sinθ + r·λ·sinθcosθ/√(1−λ²sin²θ)], and the piston acceleration from the standard two-term approximation a ≈ r·ω²·(cosθ + λ·cos2θ) — the inertia term engine designers use for balancing. The geometry endpoint summarises the whole mechanism: the stroke, the rod ratio, the top- and bottom-dead-centre positions, the maximum connecting-rod angle asin(λ), and — with a speed — the mean piston speed 2·stroke·(rev/s). Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for engine, compressor and pump-mechanism design tools, robotics and linkage simulation, CNC and animation, and mechanical-engineering education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is slider-crank linkage kinematics; for rotational energy use a flywheel API and for shaft torsion use a torsion API.

Moment of Inertia API

Rigid-body rotational-inertia mechanics as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The shape endpoint returns the mass moment of inertia and the radius of gyration k = √(I/m) for a named standard body about its characteristic axis — a solid sphere (I = 2/5·m·r²), thin spherical shell (2/3·m·r²), solid cylinder or disk (1/2·m·r²), annular/hollow cylinder (1/2·m·(r1²+r2²)), thin ring (m·r²), thin rod about its centre (1/12·m·l²) or about one end (1/3·m·l²), rectangular plate or cuboid (1/12·m·(a²+b²)), solid cone (3/10·m·r²) and point mass (m·r²) — so a 2 kg solid sphere of radius 0.5 m has I = 0.2 kg·m². The parallel-axis endpoint applies the Steiner theorem I = I_cm + m·d² to shift a moment of inertia from the centre-of-mass axis to any parallel axis a distance d away. The shapes endpoint lists the whole catalog with its formulas. All quantities are SI (kg, m → kg·m²). Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for mechanical-engineering, robotics, CAD/CAE, rotating-machinery, structural-dynamics and physics-education app developers, flywheel-and-shaft design tools, and simulation software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is rotational inertia; for stored rotational energy and flywheel sizing use a flywheel API and for torque and angular acceleration a torque API.

Taper Calculator API

Taper and cone geometry as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The taper endpoint relates the large and small diameters, the length and the taper of a conical part: give the two diameters and the length and it returns the taper ratio, the taper per foot and per inch (for inch parts), the included angle 2·atan((D−d)/(2L)) and the half (taper) angle from the axis — or leave one of the diameters or the length out and provide the taper per foot, and it solves for the missing dimension. The diameter-at endpoint gives the diameter (and radius) at any distance along the taper, measured from either the large or the small end, by linear interpolation d(x) = D − (D−d)·x/L. The morse endpoint is a reference of the standard Morse taper series MT0 to MT7, with each taper's taper per foot, gauge-line large and small diameter, length and included angle. Lengths and diameters use consistent units (inches by default, or millimetres for the angle and ratio outputs). Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for machining and lathe tools, CAD and toolmaking apps, maker and metalworking projects, and mechanical-engineering calculators. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is taper geometry; for screw-thread pitch and tap drill use a thread API and for spur-gear geometry use a gear API.

Thermal Expansion API

Thermal-expansion maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The linear endpoint computes how much a solid grows or shrinks when its temperature changes, ΔL = α·L0·ΔT, returning the change in length and the new length from an original length, a temperature change (given directly or as an initial and final temperature) and the linear expansion coefficient α — taken from a built-in material table (steel, aluminium, copper, concrete, glass, invar and more) or supplied directly; lengths accept metres, centimetres, millimetres, feet or inches. The volume endpoint computes volumetric expansion, ΔV = β·V0·ΔT, where for a solid the volumetric coefficient is β ≈ 3α and for a liquid (water, ethanol, mercury, petrol and others) β is taken directly; volumes accept cubic metres, litres, millilitres or cubic feet. The materials endpoint lists the coefficients. A negative temperature change gives contraction. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for civil and mechanical engineering tools, rail, pipe and bridge expansion-gap design, manufacturing-tolerance and HVAC apps, and physics education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is thermal expansion; for heat energy and temperature change use a specific-heat API.
