Chapter 4 Screw Threads

This document discusses various types of screw threads including triangular, square, and other thread forms. It covers thread terminology such as right-hand and left-hand threads. The key types of threads discussed are unified, metric, Whitworth, BSF, and BSP threads. It also addresses thread styles, cutting operations, and representations including multiple start threads. The objectives are to understand thread terminology, forms of screw threads, types of threads, thread styles and cutting operations, and thread representations.

Thread Terminology
External (male)
thread

A thread cut on
the outside of
a cylindrical
body.

Internal (female) A thread cut on


thread
the inside of
a cylindrical body.

External

Thread Terminology
Right-hand
thread
Left Hand
Thread

Thread that will assemble when turned clockwise.


Thread that will assemble when turned counter-clockwise.

Turnbuckle use RH and LH thread at each


end to double displacement.

Forms of Screw Threads


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

Forms of Screw Threads


2 main types of screw threads
1. Triangular or V Thread
2. Square Thread
- Other forms are either modified forms of square threads or
combination of the two forms.

1. Triangular or V Threads
- Types of Threads
1. Unified Threads
2. Metric Threads
3. Withworth Threads
4. British Standard Fine (BSF) & British Standard Pipe
(BSP)
5. Sellers Threads
6. British Association (B.A.) Threads

Unified Threads
External Threads(Screw) Varies slightly
in shape from the Internal Threads
(Inside a nut).
Angle of thread : 60
Roots : Rounded
Crests: Cut Parallel to the axis of Screw

Metric Threads
BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) designed screws in Metric
System. And as designated it as Metric Screw Threads.
In this System
Pitch : Fixed (Instead of No. of Threads)
Metric Thread designated by M followed by nominal
diameter
E.g. M 20 (20 is nominal diameter)

Withworth Threads
Also known as a BSW
(British Standard
Withworth)
Angle : 55
Theoritical Depth = D =
0.96 P
1/6 D is rounded off at top
& bottom

British Standard Fine (BSF) & British Standard


Pipe (BSP)

Same witheworth profile


Pitches are finer
Depth are smaller
Uses:
BSF : Automobile & Aircraft work
BSP : Gas, Steam & Water pipe

Sellers Threads

Standard form in USA


Thread Angle : 60
Cutoff = D/8
Crests and Roots teeth are flat
Theoretical depth D = 0.866P
Actual Depth = 0.649P

British Association (B.A.) Threads

Angle: 47.5
Round off = 0.236D
Actual depth = 0.6P
Th.depth D = 1.136P
Act. Depth d = 0.6 P
Use: Small Instruments sccrews

2. Square Threads
Flanks & Sides normal to the axis.
Use:
Power transmission
To obtain larger axial movement of
the nut or the screw per revolution
Lead screw of lathe machine
Screw jacks
Vices

Pitch of the thread is normally


larger than the triangular threads

2. Square Threads
Types
1. Acme Threads
2. Knuckle Threads
3. Buttress Threads

Acme Threads

Modified from Square thread


Stronger and easier to cut
Thread Angle : 29
Depth d= 0.5P + 0.25 mm
Thickness at crest = 0.3707P
Uses
Lead screw of lathe

Knuckle Threads
Made by rounding off the
corner of the square threads
Comprises of semi circles of
radius R = 0.25P
Depth d = 0.5P
Wear resistant and used in
rough usage
Uses:
Coupler of railway carriages
Electric bulb

Buttress Threads
Combination of triangular and
square threads
One flank perpendicular to the
thread axis
Thread angle is = 45
D=P
d = 0.75 P
Use:
Screw of Bench-vice.

Thread Drawing / Representation


3 Types of representation
1. Detailed Representation
2. Schematic Representation
3. Simplified Representation

1. Detailed Representation
Use Slanting lines to represent crest and root.
Roots and crests are drawn in sharp Vs

2. Schematic Representation
Use alternate long and short lines for representing
crests and roots of the threads, respectively.

3. Simplified Representation
Use thick continuous lines for representing crests
and thin continuous lines for representing root of the
threads, Respectively.

3. Simplified Representation
Use thick continuous lines for representing crests
and thin continuous lines for representing root of the
threads, Respectively.

DIMENSIONING EXTERNAL THREAD


Use local note to specify :- thread form, nominal size,
pitch (if it is a fine thread)
Use typical method to specify :- thread length.
M 10 1.5 Coarse thread
1.0 Fine thread

xx

Thread
length

DIMENSIONING THREADED HOLE


Use local note to
specify
1. Tap drill size

2. Drill depth
3. Thread form

4. Nominal size
5. Pitch
6. Thread depth

8.50 Drill, 20 Deep,


M10 Tapped, 15 Deep

Multiple Start Threads


Single start threads P = L (Lead)
W.k.t Depth of thread is depending
on the pitch,
Greater the lead = Greater will be
the depth of thread and smaller
will be the core diameter.
Fig2. shows large depth and
smaller core dia. Which makes
screw weak so multiple cutting of
thread is required.

Multiple Start Threads


Multiple cutting: two or more
threads having the same pitch,
with increasing lead, run parallel to
each other.
Slope of thread is changed
S = 0.5L
Relation between pitch and lead is
Double start thread : P = 2L
Triple start thread : P = 3L
