INTRODUCTION The screws, bolt, studs, nuts etc. are widely used in variousm ch in e s structures for a and fas te nngs. These fastenin have screw threads, w hichare made by cutti n ga co ninuous i gs t helical groove o n cylin d rcal surface. If the threads are cut on the outer surface of a soli d i rod, these are know n as external threads. But if the threads are cut o n the in ternal surface of a hollow rod, these are know n as i nternal threads.

We use The principle of the inclined plane i n the screw thread concept/applications.

THE SQUARE-THREADED SCREW (a) A Single-Start Thread Let W be the axial force agai n s twhich the screw is turned, Fig. 5.1, and P the tangen ital force at the mean thread radius necessary to turn the nut. The develop men t of a thread ia an in c lin epdlane, Fig. 5.2, and tu rn in the nut agai n s t g the load i s equivalent to mo v in g isload up the plane by the horizontol th force P applied at the m an radius of the thread. e

When i t move s down agai n s ta res istin g force P we found that P = W tan ( c ) When the load overhauls, P = 0 Therefore, tan ( c ) = 0 c =0 = Hence, when the angle of the inclined plane is equal to the angle of the friction the load w ill overhaul.
