Hi,

I’m designing a gate valve with ball screw application with balance stem application.
I have calculated the total thrust force acting on the system. Now, whats would be the effect of dynamic load and static load on the total thrust?
I know dynamic load s the load beyond which the ball screw may fail provides by ball screw supplier. What abt the static load ? Is it the total load that the ball screw can with stand? So, my total thrust should not exceed the dynamic and static loads. Please correct if I’m right. Thanks
