NOTE

SCREW THREAD

A screw thread is a helical ridge or groove wrapped around a cylindrical or conical surface. It's designed to engage with a mating thread, such as a nut or another screw, to convert rotational motion into linear motion or vice versa. Screw threads are widely used in various applications for fastening, adjusting, and transmitting motion and force.

Types of screw thread

1. V-shape threads: Also known as "V threads," they have a triangular cross-section and are commonly used in bolts, nuts, and screws due to their self-locking nature.

2. Square threads: These have a square cross-section and are often found in high-load applications where efficiency and power transmission are critical, like jackscrews and vises.

3. Acme threads: Acme threads are trapezoidal in shape and commonly used in lead screws and power screws for translating rotational motion into linear motion.

4. Buttress threads: Featuring one flat and one angled flank, buttress threads are suitable for applications where a large axial force is present, like in vise screws and the lead screws of heavy-duty machinery.

5. Worm threads: These have a cylindrical shape and resemble a screw thread wrapped around a cylindrical core. They're commonly used in worm gears for power transmission.

EVALUATION: 1. Identify and sketch the type of screw thread below:
