Diagram of a thread angle. In mechanical engineering, the thread angle of a screw is the included angle between the thread flanks, measured in a plane containing the thread axis. [1] This is a defining factor for the shape of a screw thread. Standard values include:
The original trapezoidal thread form, and still probably the one most commonly encountered worldwide, with a 29° thread angle, is the Acme thread form (/ ˈ æ k m iː / AK-mee). The Acme thread was developed in 1894 as a profile well suited to power screws that has various advantages over the square thread , [ note 1 ] which had been the form ...
Action threads, also called receiver threads, are situated at the chamber end of the barrel, and can be used for attaching the barrel to the receiver. The receiver normally has corresponding threads which are internal, with the matching action threads on the barrel usually being external threads.
Each thread is characterized by its major diameter, D (D maj in the diagram), and its pitch, P. ISO metric threads consist of a symmetric V-shaped thread. In the plane of the thread axis, the flanks of the V have an angle of 60° to each other. The thread depth is 0.54125 × pitch.
The Thury thread form had the crests rounded at 1 / 6 p and the roots rounded at 1 / 5 p so the thread angle was close to 47.5° but not exactly. This was simplified in the BA thread definition by defining the thread angle to be 47.5° exactly and the thread form to be symmetrical with a depth of 3 / 5 p.
Knuckle threads with a flat 30 degree flank thread angle are standardized in DIN 405 for inch pitches and diameters ranging from 8 mm to 200 mm. [3] A more recent standard DIN 20400 uses metric thread pitch and lists diameters from 10 mm to 300 mm. [4] As DIN is a German organization, many instances of the DIN thread charts [5] write numbers with a comma as the decimal marker.
Parts are indicated by their nominal diameter (the nominal major diameter of the screw threads), pitch (number of threads per inch), and the class of fit for the thread. For example, “.750-10 UNC-2A” is male (A) with a nominal major diameter of 0.750 inches, 10 threads per inch, and a class-2 fit; “.500-20 UNF-1B” would be female (B ...
Until then, the only standardization was what little had been done by individual people and companies, with some companies' in-house standards spreading a bit within their industries. Whitworth's new standard specified a 55° thread angle and a thread depth of 0.640327p and a radius of 0.137329p, where p is the pitch. The thread pitch increases ...
