  2. Helix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helix

    The pitch of a helix is the height of one complete helix turn, measured parallel to the axis of the helix. A double helix consists of two (typically congruent) helices with the same axis, differing by a translation along the axis. [3] A circular helix (i.e. one with constant radius) has constant band curvature and constant torsion. The slope of ...

  3. Helix angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helix_angle

    The efficiency can be plotted versus the helix angle for a constant friction, as shown in the adjacent diagram. The maximum efficiency is a helix angle between 40 and 45 degrees, however a reasonable efficiency is achieved above 15°. Due to difficulties in forming the thread, helix angle greater than 30° are rarely used.

  4. Lead (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_(engineering)

    Definition of lead per ANSI/AGMA 1012-G05 Definition of lead angle per ANSI/AGMA 1012-G05 Depiction of the lead angle of a screw thread. d m is the mean diameter of the screw thread. Lead is the axial advance of a helix or screw during one complete turn (360°) [1] The lead for a screw thread is the axial travel for a single revolution. [2]

  5. Pitch angle of a spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_angle_of_a_spiral

    In the geometry of spirals, the pitch angle [1] or pitch [2] of a spiral is the angle made by the spiral with a circle through one of its points, centered at the center of the spiral. Equivalently, it is the complementary angle to the angle made by the vector from the origin to a point on the spiral, with the tangent vector of the spiral at the ...

    Helix (cipher) published in 2003 Helix (database), database management system for the Apple Macintosh platform, created in 1983 Helix (multimedia project), a project to produce computer software that can play audio and video media in various formats, aid in producing such media, and serve them over a network

  9. Generalized helicoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_helicoid

    The trace of the point is a circular helix (red). It is contained in the surface of a right circular cylinder. Its radius is the distance of point to the z-axis. In case of >, the helix is called right handed; otherwise, it is said to be left handed.
