Does any have resources/formulas for calculating the thrust force on a screw conveyor shaft?
Application is a screw feeder with a long inlet moving filter cake from a filter press. Normal operation will be moving small amounts of material as a single filter chamber empties. Customer wants drive capacity for the case where the inlet chute becomes completely plugged. Need to provide thrust load to gearbox supplier to confirm it can handle the axial load in this case.
