A. DRAWING OF MACHINE PARTS
2.1 INTRODUCTION
In our day to day life, we come across many objects where bolts and nuts are used to join two
pieces together. For example we use wooden furnitures like desks, stools, tables etc. in school,
showing bolts, nuts and screws. Such machine parts which are used to connect two pieces
together are called as fasteners. There are two types of fasteners, viz, temporary fasteners and
permanent fasteners. Threaded fasteners like bolt and nut are temporary fasteners. The process
of joining different machine parts of machine or engineering products is called as fastening.
Permanent fastening such as welding, riveting etc. join two parts together permanently and they
cannot be separated without breaking the fastening, but in the case of temporary fastening, the
parts are joined together temporarily and can be separated easily without breaking the
fastening.
2.2 SCREW THREAD
HELICAL SCREW THREAD

Fig 2.1 a
Recall that we have studied helix in class XI. A continuous helical groove cut along the outer
circumference of a cylindrical surface is called a screw thread. A screw thread is an operating
element of temporary fastening. Screw thread occurs on practically all engineering products.

(i) EXTERNAL THREAD
It is a continuous helical groove or ridge cut along the external surface of the
cylinder, e.g. threads on bolts studs, screws etc. FIG 2.2(a) shows an external
thread.
(ii) INTERNAL THREAD
It is a thread on the internal surface of a hollow cylinder. FIG 2.2(b) shows the
internal threads, e.g. threads of a nut.
(iii) SCREW PAIR
The bolt and nut together called as screw pair. One or more such pairs are used to
join two parts.
(iv) PARALLEL AND TAPER THREAD
A thread formed on the surface of a cylinder is called as parallel or straight thread.

Refer Fig 2.3(a)
(A) PARALLEL THREAD
(B) TAPER THREAD

Fig 2.3
A thread formed on the surface of a cone called as taper thread. Refer FIG 2.3(b)
MACHINE DRAWING
(v) RIGHT HAND AND LEFT HAND THREADS
Consider any nut and bolt. Hold the bolt firmly in left hand and rotate the nut
clockwise by the right hand, the nut will screw on the bolt of the threads are right
handed. It is abbreviated as RH thread. A left hand screws thread when assembled
with a stationary mating bolt, screws off the bolt for clockwise rotation. It is
abbreviated as LH thread.
Observe that mostly the bolts and nuts that we use in daily life have RH thread.
Also we can observe that all the jewellery mating pieces have LH thread.
(vi) PITCH, P
It is "the distance between the corresponding points on the adjacent threads,

measured parallel to the axis". Refer FIG2.2 (a)
(vii) LEAD,L
It is "the distance moved by a nut or bolt in the axial direction in one complete
rotation".
(viii) SINGLE START AND MULTI START THREADS
When only one helix, forming the thread runs on a cylinder, it is called as single
start thread. If more then one helices run on a cylinder, it is called as multi start
threads.
i.e. L=P in the case of single start
L=2P in the case of double start
L=3P for triple start and so on.
(ix) CREST
It is the edge of the thread surface farthest from the axis, in case of external
thread and nearest to the axis, in case of internal thread
(x) ROOT
It is the edge of the thread surface nearest to the axis in case of external thread
and farthest from the axis, in case of internal thread.
(xi) FLANK
The surface connecting crest and root is called as flank.
(xii) THREAD ANGLE
It is "the angle between the flanks measured in an axial plane".
MACHINE DRAWING
(xiii) MAJOR DIAMETER OR OUTSIDE DIAMETER
It is the diameter of an imaginary coaxial cylinder just touching the crest of

external threads or roots of internal threads. It is the largest diameter of a screw
thread.
(xiv) MINOR DIAMETER OR ROOT DIAMETER OR CORE DIAMETER
It is the diameter of an imaginary co-axial cylinder just touching the roots of

external threads or crest of internal threads.
(xv) NOMINAL DIAMETER
It is the diameter of the cylinder from which external threads are cut out. The
screw/bolt is specified by this diameter.

PROFILE OF SCREW THREAD

Fig 2.4
The section of a thread cut by a plane containing the axis is known as the form of
the screw thread. It is also called the profile of the thread. Refer FIG 2.4
MACHINE DRAWING
2.4 STANDARD PROFILE / FORM OF SCREW THREADS

There are two basic screw thread profiles. viz.
(a) Triangular or 'V' thread
(b) Square thread.
(a) TRIANGULAR OR 'V' THREAD

When the thread has a triangular or V-cross section, it is called as V-threads. All types of V-
threads have inclined flanks making an angle between them. In the practical use of the
threads, a clearance must be provided between the external and internal threads. V
threads are used "to tighten two parts together" as in bolts and nuts, studs and nuts,
screws etc.
For interchangeability between the screws and nuts of the same nominal diameter and
form, various countries have standardized V-thread profiles. A few such standard thread
forms are given in our syllabus namely
(i) B.S.W. thread
(ii) Metric thread
(b) SQUARE THREAD
When the thread has square cross section it is called as square thread. Flanks of square
threads are vertical and parallel to each other. "square threads are used for power
transmission" on feed mechanism of machine tools, screw jacks etc, when less friction
means saving of power as they offer less frictional resistance. In our syllabus we are going
to study about the standard profile/ form of a few square threads viz.
(i) Square thread
(ii) Knuckle thread
2.4.1 PROFILE OF B.S.W. THREAD
British standard whitworth (B.S.W.) thread is the most widely used form in British
practice. Let us now learn to draw the standard profile of B.S.W. thread.

external thread.
(vii) Standard dimensions are to be done as shown in the above figure.
MACHINE DRAWING
2.4.2 METRIC THREAD
The Bureau of Indian standards (BIS) has recommended the adoption of ISO (INTERNATIONAL
ORGANISATION FOR STANDARDISATION) profile with the metric screw thread system. In metric
thread, the external and internal thread vary in shape. It can also be called as unified thread. In
general, this ISO-metric thread will be specified using the basic designation. The basic
designation consist of the letter M followed by the nominal size (major diameter in mm) and
followed by the pitch in mm.
For example
M20 x 1.5 means the major diameter of the metric thread is 20mm and the pitch is 1.5mm. Let us
now draw the standard profiles of metric screw thread
Example 2: Draw to scale 1:1, the standard profile of metric screw thread (external) taking
enlarged pitch as 50mm. Give standard dimensions.

2.4.3 SQUARE THREAD
Mechanisms of machine tools, valves, spindles, vice screws etc. are generally provided with
square threads. A "square thread (SQ) is specified by nominal diameter and pitch". For example a
square thread of nominal diameter = 40 mm and pitch = 4mm is designated as SQ 40x4

MACHINE DRAWING
2.5 BOLTS
In day to day life, we can observe many machine parts joined by bolt and nut. Now, let us study
about the bolts.
A bolt consists of a cylindrical body with one end threaded and the other end converted into a
head. It is passed through clearance holes (diameter slightly more than nominal diameter of bolt)
in two or more aligned parts. A nut is screwed on the threaded end of the bolt to tighten the parts
together. Different types of bolts are used for different purposes. The shape of the head also
depends upon the purpose for which the bolt is used. The length of a bolt is its total length,
"excluding the height or thickness of bolt head". Bolt has external thread. An external thread is
represented by "discontinuous, minor diameter circle".

We are going to study about the following types of bolts
(i) Hexagonal headed bolt
(ii) Square headed bolt
(iii) Tee headed bolt
(iv) Hook bolt
2.5.1 HEXAGONAL HEADED BOLT
It is the most commonly used form of the bolt. The head of a

hexagonal head bolt is a hexagonal prism with a conical
chamfer rounded off at an angle of 30° on the outer end face.
All dimensions of a hexagonal head bolt and hexagonal nut are
same except the height or thickness of the hexagonal head. The
approximate height/thickness of the bolt head is 0.8d (d is the
diameter of the bolt). A little portion (about 3 mm) of the
threaded end should remain outside the nut.
Let us now learn to draw the views of a hexagonal headed bolt.
MACHINE DRAWING
EXAMPLE 6: Draw to scale 1:1, the front view and side view of a hexagonal headed bolt of
diameter 30mm, keeping the axis parallel to H.P and V.P. The length of the bolt is
120mm.

Steps Involved
(i) "Start with the view where circles are seen". Here the side view shows the circles
representing the shank. So, start with the side view.
(ii) Draw a circle of given diameter, d= 30mm
(iii) Draw another circle of diameter 0.8d (24mm), which is shown as

broken/discontinuous circle. (Broken part is shown in III quadrant) 'This inner
broken circle indicates that the thread on the bolt is an external thread'.
(iv) Draw another circle of diameter 1.5d+3 mm

(48 mm) indicate the chamfering circle.
(v) Circumscribe hexagon around the chamfering

circle as in Fig. 2.12b using 30°-60° degree
set square and minidrafter. 30º 30º
(vi) After completing the side view, the front view

will be drawn by taking projections. Project
the shank diameter (d= 30 mm) from the side
view. Draw a rectangle of size 30x120 mm for
the shank (120 mm is the length of the shank) Fig 2.12 b
MACHINE DRAWING
(vii) The end of the bolt is rounded and is done with the radius equal to the diameter of
the bolt. (R = d = 30mm)
(viii) Indicate the threaded portion (by projecting the 0.8d = 24mm circle with "thin
continuous lines") at the end of the shank for the length of 2d+6 mm =66mm
(ix) Draw the head of the bolt in the front view, by projecting the hexagon from the
side view. Size A/C (across corners) will be projected to get the width of the head.
Height of the head is taken as 0.8d= 24mm.
(x) The three faces of the hexagonal head with chamfering arcs is drawn by any of the
appropriate method.
(xi) The centers of chamfering arcs for the three faces may be located as shown in the
Fig 2.12a
Keep in your mind that, on elevation showing "three faces" of the hexagonal head,
show the upper corners of the head chamfered. On elevations showing "two faces"
of the hexagonal head, show the upper corners square.
2.5.2 SQUARE HEADED BOLT
It is also the common form of the bolt and is

generally used where the head of the bolt is to be
accommodated in a recess. The recess itself is in the
form of square in which the head rests having a little
clearance. "The square recess prevents the head
from rotating" when the nut is screwed on or off.
When the square head of the bolt projects outside
the parts to be joined, it is provided with a square
nut. The dimensions of the square head are as those
of the square nut "except the height or thickness" Fig 2.13
Let us now learn how to draw the views of a square

headed bolt.
Example 7 : Draw to scale 1:1 the Front view and Plan of a square head bolt when it axis is
perpendicular to H.P. Take the diameter of the bolt as 24mm, and length as 110

2.6 NUTS
A nut is a machine element having a threaded hole that engages with the threaded end of the bolt.
There are different types of nuts in use. In our syllabus, we are going to study about hexagonal nut
and square nut.
2.6.1 HEXAGONAL NUT
Refer Fig 2.19
The most commonly used type of nut is the

hexagonal nut. It is a hexagonal prism
provided with a threaded hole. Upper
corners of a nut are "chamfered" or
"rounded- off". Chamfering is done to
remove sharp corners to ensure the safety
of the user. The angle of chamfer is usually
"30° with the base of the nut". The
chamfering gives arcs on the vertical faces
of the nut and circle on the top surface of
the nut. The chamfering circle on the top
surface touches the mid points of all the
Fig 2.19
side of the nut which can be seen in the
top view.
Let us now learn to draw the views of a hexagonal nut.

(v) Project the top view to get front view. Front view has three faces if nut is placed
across corner (A/C) and front view has two faces if the nut is placed across flats
(A/F). This is the common position for the nut.
(vi) Chamfering arcs in the front view may be done by any suitable method. One of the
methods is clearly shown in figure 2.20.
The alternate method is given below for your reference.
• On the front view, describe arc ABC [fig.2.22] of radius 1.2d = 3mm. It cuts
the verticals in A and C. Here d = 25mm.
• Bisect the chord between D and A and between C and E.
• On the bisectors we shall expect to find the center of the arcs which flow
through DKA and CE.
• Join DK and bisect at right angles, thus locating the center of arc DKA.
Note that arc CE will also have the same radius.
(vii) Side view is projected from front view and top view. Side view and front view have
same height but different width.

Solution : Refer Fig. 2.25
Steps Involved :
(i) Start with the top view. Describe three circles of diameter d = 25mm, 0.8d =
20mm, 1.5d = 37.5mm respectively. (Ød circle is broken to represent the internal
thread of the nut.)
(ii) Circumscribe square around the chamfering circle as shown in Fig 2.25
(iii) Project the Top View to draw the Front View
(iv) Complete the Front View as shown in Fig. 2.25.
NOTE: that when two faces of square nut are seen in front view, the corners are
chamfered.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The hexagonal nut takes preference over the other nuts. A spanner is used to turn
the nut on or off the bolt. The jaws of the spanner come across the opposite flats of
the nut. The angle through which the spanner will have to be turned to get another
hold is only 60 in case of a hexagonal nut but 90° for a square nut. Though the angle
is 45 in case of the octagonal nut, it is rarely used due to its complicated process of
construction. So, it is more convenient to screw on a hexagonal nut than a square
nut in a limited space for turning the spanner.

2.7 WASHER
You must have seen the circular plate called washer fitted in your mini drafter. Even, in jewellery
item like ear tops/studs, washer may be used to tighten the screw. There are two main kinds of
washer used in machinery, namely
(i) Plain washer.
(ii) Spring washer.
We are going to study only about the plain washer in our syllabus.
2.7.1 PLAIN WASHER
A plain washer see fig. 2.26 is a circular plate

having a hole in its centre. It is placed below the
nut to provide "a flat smooth bearing surface".
The use of a washer is recommended where the
surface of the machine part is rough for a nut to
seat. Washer also prevents the nut from cutting
into the metal thus allowing the nut to be WASHER
screwed more tightly. Fig 2.26
Example 13: Draw to scale 1:1, the front view and top view of a washer, taking the nominal
diameter of the bolt on which the washer is used = 25mm. Keep the circular face of
the washer parallel to V.P

2.9 RIVETS AND RIVETED JOINTS.

We are familiar with riveted joints with our kitchen wares likes pressure cooker and frying pan. In
pressure cooker, the handle is joined to the body by means of rivets. We can even notice the rivets
fitted, in shoes belts etc.
Rivets are one of the permanent fasteners and is used widely in steel structures. Rivets are used in
bridges, boilers and other engineering works. A rivet is a simple round rod having head at its one
end (see fig 2.32)
(i) (ii)
RIVETS
Fig 2.32
and the other end is made in the form of head when it is assembled to fasten the parts.
Rivet heads are of many shapes. The most common and easiest form of rivet is "snap head rivet"
(see Fig 2.32 (i)). It is also known as "cup head" or "spherical-head" rivet.
MACHINE DRAWING
Riveted joints are of two types namely
(i) Lap joint
(ii) Butt joint
Lap joints may be single, double and multiple riveted. In class XII, we are going to study the views
of "single" riveted lap joint.
2.9.1 ORTHOGRAPHIC VIEWS OF SINGLE RIVETED LAP JOINT
In single riveted lap joint, the plates to be joined together overlap each other and "a single
row of rivets" passes through both the plates.
PITCH
SINGLE RIVETED LAP JOINT.

Fig, 2.33
Let us now learn how to draw the views of single riveted lap joint.
Example 17: Draw to scale 1:1, the top view and sectional front view of single riveted lap joint,
when the thickness of the plates to be joined = 16mm.

TOP VIEW Fig, 2.34
MACHINE DRAWING
Steps Involved:
Before starting the view, the standard dimensions are to be calculated as follows.
Let't' be the thickness of the plates to be be joined. Here t =16mm
The empirical formula for calculating the diameter'd' of the rivet to be used is given as
d = 6√t mm
So, d = √16
= 6x4 mm
d = 24 mm is the diameter of the rivet to be used in this case.
The margin 'm' is "the distance from the centre of the rivet to the nearest edge of the
plate", and is taken as m = 1.5d
= 1.5x24
= 36 mm
The pitch 'p' is the distance between the centres of the adjacent rivets, and is taken as
P = 3d
= 3x24
= 72mm
The angle 10 degree is made by the fullering tool (a special punch or chisel) to make the
joint leak proof. (The process of fullering is beyond the scope of this book.)
Then the top view and the sectional front view are to be done as shown clearly in fig 2.34.
The edges of the plates in the top view are shown in wavy lines to represent that "a part of
plates" are shown.
Exercises
NOTE: Assume the missing dimensions proportionately
1. Draw to scale full size, the full sectional front view of a single riveted lap joint,
taking thickness of the plates as 09mm. Give standard dimensions.
2. Draw to scale 1:1, the front view in section and plan of a single riveted lap joint,
taking the thickness of the plates as 25mm. Give standard dimensions.

2.10 INTRODUCTION
FREE HAND SKETCHES OF MACHINE PARTS
In freehand sketches of machine parts, the students must do the drawing without the use
of scale, instrument etc., Appropriate measurement is taken and correspondingly a table
for each figure must be made showing calculated values. The figure must show the
dimensions in terms of diameter 'd'.
2.11 CONVENTIONAL REPRESENTATION OF THREADS

In actual projection, the edges of threads would be represented by helical curves. It takes a lot of
time to draw helical curves. So, for convenience sake threads are generally shown by
conventional methods recommended by B.I.S
2.11.1 CONVENTIONAL REPRESENTATION OF EXTERNAL V-THREADS
The Bureau of Indian standards has recommended a very simple method of representing V-
threads. Fig 2.35 shows the simplified representation of external V-threads. According to
this convention, two continuous thick lines and two continuous thin lines are drawn to
represent crest and roots of the thread respectively. The limit of useful length of the
thread is indicated by a thick line perpendicular to the axis.
CONVENTIONAL REPRESENTATION OF EXTERNAL V-THREADS

Fig 2.35
The other way of representing external V-thread is as follows.
(i) Draw a rectangle (see fig 2.36) representing a cylinder with diameter equal to the
nominal diameter of the bolt.
(ii) Draw a line AB perpendicular to the bolt.
(iii) Make a point B' such that BB' = 0.5xpitch. BB is called as slope = 0.5P for a single
start thread. B' is located on the lower line for a right hand thread (RH thread)
A P
B B'
SLOPE = 0.5 P
RIGHT HAND V-THREAD

MACHINE DRAWING
(iv) Fig 2.36 is the representation of RH thread. In the case of RH thread, for a
clockwise rotation, the thread is screwed on.
(v) Draw two thin lines parallel to the axis representing the roots of the thread.
(vi) On the thick line, mark the divisions equal to pitch. On the thin line, mark the
divisions = (p/2) such that they form the shape of 'V'
(vii) Join root to root points with thick lines and crest to crest points with thin lines
(viii) The side view has two circles representing the crest and root of the thread. Crest
circle is thick and continuous, whereas root circle is drawn thin and incomplete to
represent the external thread.
Similarly the LH-external V-thread can be represented as follows. Note that the
slope point is located on the top line and inclination of the line is opposite of
RH thread. see fig 2.37
Slope = 0.5P

threaded hole in the front view. Thick line indicates the crest and thin line indicates the
root. Section (hatching) lines are extended up to thick lines. The side view shows a thick
circle representing the crest and roots by thin incomplete circle

2.12 STUDS
A stud is a cylindrical piece of metal having
threads at both ends and is plain cylinder or
square cross section/ square neck or plain
cylinder or with collar in the central portion. STUD
Fig 2.41
For connecting two parts, one end (metal end) of
the stud is screwed into a threaded hole in one part and the other end (nut end) is passed through
a clearance hole in the other part, so that the plain portion of the stud remains within this hole. A
nut is screwed on the open end of the stud. The portion of the stud where nut is screwed on is
called nut end and the other end of the stud is called metal end or stud end.
Stud is a headless bolt and is used where sufficient space for bolt head is not available. The
following fig 2.42 shows the view of a plain stud, stud with square neck and stud with collar.

Key is piece of metal which is used to fasten two parts together,
specially to join two circular parts together. For example, Y
KE
pulleys, flywheels etc. are joined to the shaft by means of a key.
AT
See fig 2.54. Key is also used to prevent the relative movement Y SE
E AY
between the shaft and the parts mounted on it. Whenever K E YW
K
required, it can be removed easily. So key is one of the T
A F
temporary fasteners. The groove cut on the shaft to SH
accommodate a key is called key seat and the corresponding KEY IN POSITION
groove in the matting piece is called key way. Fig 2.54
MACHINE DRAWING
2.15.1 TYPES OF SUNK KEYS
A sunk key is designated by its width x thickness x

length. (w x T x L) see fig 2.55
T
Sunk keys means, half of the thickness (0.5T)
(measured at the side not on centre line) k within the W
key seat and the other half thickness (0.5T) is within L
the keyway (see fig 2.57). There are different types
of sunk keys viz.
RECTANGULAR
(i) rectangular taper key SUNK KEY
Fig 2.55
(ii) woodruff key
(iii) double head feather key
Let us now learn how to draw the views of these sunk keys.

Let 'D' be the diameter of the shaft, then width of the key, W=D/4
Thickness of the key, T=D/6
Length=1.5D to 2D, Taper = 1 in 100
The taper key prevent relative rotational as well as axial movement between the two
mating piece. Generally, the upper surface of the key is tapered and hence the keyway is
also correspondingly tapered. The tapered end is hammered to remove the key from the
joint.

Woodruff key is a special sunk key. It looks like a segment of a circular disc. The key seat is
semi circular in shape but the keyway is rectangular. The keyway is smaller in size than the
key seat. The advantage of woodruff key is that it can be easily adjusted in the recess. It is
largely used in machine tools and automobile work.
