    Threads are helical ridges used to join parts together or transmit motion. External threads are cut on the outside of cylinders while internal threads are cut on the inside. Right-hand threads tighten clockwise while left-hand threads tighten counter-clockwise. Common thread terminology includes crest, root, pitch, lead, and thread angle. Various thread forms exist for different applications such as V threads, square threads, ACME threads, and worm threads. Threads are cut using lathes or taps and dies.

    Threads

    What is thread?
    Helical ridge of uniform section formed on inside or outside of cylinder or cone

    Thread Applications:
    Used to fix temporarily one part to another Provide accurate measurement, as in micrometer Transmit motion
    Worms transmit motion on shafts perpendicular to each other Worm & Gear

    THREAD TERMINOLOGY
    External (male) thread Internal (female) thread
    External thread Internal thread A thread cut on the outside of a cylindrical body. A thread cut on the inside of a cylindrical body.

    THREAD TERMINOLOGY
    Right-hand thread Left-hand thread
    Thread that will assemble when turned clockwise. Thread that will assemble when turned counter-clockwise.

    THREAD TERMINOLOGY
    Crest Root Thread angle
    External Thread
    Thread angle

    The peak edge of a thread. The bottom of the thread cut into a cylindrical body. The angle between threads faces. Internal Thread

    Root Crest

    Root

    THREAD TERMINOLOGY
    Major diameter Minor diameter
    External Thread
    Minor dia. Major dia.

    The largest diameter on an internal or external thread. The smallest diameter on an internal or external thread. Internal Thread

    Minor dia.

    THREAD TERMINOLOGY
    Pitch Lead
    External Thread The distance between crests of threads. The distance a screw will advance when turned 360o. Internal Thread

    Lead

    Pitch Pitch

    THREAD TERMINOLOGY
    The lead and the pitch of a single lead thread are the same.
    On double lead threads, the lead is twice the pitch.

    A double lead thread has two start points.

    Double Lead

    THREAD TERMINOLOGY
    Helix Angle Depth of thread Flank
    External Thread
    Helix Angle

    Angle that thread makes with plane perpendicular to thread axis Distance between crest and root measured perpendicular to axis Thread surface that connects crest with root Internal Thread

    THREAD TERMINOLOGY
    Thread Form
    Form is the profile shape of the thread. Example : knuckle thread form

    Thread Forms
    According to use and shape, threads are classified as follows:
    V Thread Square Thread Acme Thread Buttress Thread Knuckle Thread Worm Thread
    Power Thread Used for power transmission

    V Thread
    These are classified as follows: Metric International Standard British Standard Whitworth (BSW) British Standard Fine (BSF) British Standard Pipe (BSP) American National or Seller Thread

    ISO (METRIC) THREAD


    Internal thread
    60o

    P/4

    External thread
    Pitch, P

    Center of thread assembly The pitch, p of the thread is expressed in mm

    ISO (METRIC) THREAD


    60 included angle D (Internal) = 0.6143 x pitch Crest = .125 x pitch Root = .250 x pitch

    METRIC COARSE THREAD


    Nominal size M6 M8 M10 M12 Major diameter 6.00 8.00 10.00 12.00 Pitch 1.00 1.25 1.50 1.75 Minor diameter 4.92 6.65 8.38 10.11 Tap drill size 5.00 6.75 8.50 10.00

    Metric thread Minor diameter Tap drill size In thread drawing, the following relationship is used. Minor diameter = Major diameter Pitch

    METRIC FINE THREAD


    Nominal size M8 Major diameter 8.00 Pitch 0.75 1.00 0.75 1.00 1.25 Minor diameter 7.188 6.917 9.188 8.917 8.647 Tap drill size 7.25 7.00 9.25 9.00 8.75

    M10

    10.00

    Minor diameter Tap drill size Example: M8x1.0 means that the thread major diameter is 8mm and its pitch is 1.0mm

    British Standard Whitworth (BSW) Thread


    .6403 D = .6403 x P or N .1373 R = .1373 x P or N

    Square Thread
    Being replaced by Acme thread because of difficulty in cutting it Often found on vises and jack screws
    Square Thread

    D = .500P F = .500P C = .500P + .002

    ACME Screw Thread


    Replacing square thread in many cases Used for feed screws, jacks, and vises
    D = minimum .500P F = .3707P = maximum .500P + 0.010 C = .3707P - .0052 (for maximum depth)

    ACME Thread

    Worm Thread
    Used to mesh worm gears and transmit motion between two shafts at right angles to each other but not in same plane
    Worm

    D = .6866P F = .335P C = .310P
