Acme Screw Data

The document provides specifications for 29° Acme threads, including nominal diameters from 0.25 to 5 inches, threads per inch from 5 to 16, and fit classes from 2G to 4G. Tables list dimensional data for Acme thread profiles such as thread clear diameter, tap/bore diameters, tensile areas, and shear stress areas. Formulas define the allowances for pitch and minor diameters based on fit class and nominal diameter/pitch.

Acme Thread Data Sheets:

The tables following provide information designers need to apply 29 Acme threads to
projects properly. Please note that callouts for Acme threads currently (2006) exist as:
X.XXXX-TPI-NG-ACME-EXTERNAL for screw threads or
X.XXXX-TPI-NG-ACME-INTERNAL for nut threads.
Where X.XXXX is the nominal major diameter given to four decimal places, TPI are
the threads per inch, and NG is the class (2G, 3G, or 4G) of fit (2 is the loosest and 4
the tightest). The class of fit (see equations on page 4) has an allowance based on a
combination of the square root of the nominal major diameter and the square root of the
pitch.
