LECTURE 33 8-1 Thread Standards and Definitions
Introduction The fundamental operation in manufacture is the creation of shape - this includes assembly, where a number of components are fastened or joined together either permanently by welding (Ch9) for example or detachably(nonpermanent) by screws,nuts and bolts and so on. Since there is such a variety of shapes in engineering to be assembled, it is hardly surprising that there is more variety in demountable fasteners than in any other machine element. Fasteners based upon screw threads are the most common, so it is important that their performance is understood, and the limitations of the fastened assemblies appreciated.
Introduction • There are two distinct uses for screw threads and they usually demand different behavior from the threads : • a power screw such as a lathe leadscrew or the screw in a car lifting jack which transforms rotary motion into substantial linear motion (or vice versa in certain applications), and
Fasteners • a Threaded Fastener similar to a nut and bolt which joins a number of components together again by transforming rotary motion into linear motion, though in this case the translation is small.

Thread Systems A thread 'system' is a set of basic thread proportions which is scaled to different screw sizes to define the thread geometry. Whitworth, Sellers, British Standard Pipe (BSP) are just three of the many systems which proliferated before the adoption of the ISO Metric thread system. The American National (Unified) Thread standards is used mainly in the US. Square and ACME
Thread geometry The basic profile of ISO Metric threadsis built up from contiguous equiangular triangles of height H disposed symmetrically about a pitch line which becomes the pitch cylinder of diameter d2 when the profile is rotated about the axis to form the thread. The distance between adjacent triangles - the pitch - is p = 2 H /√3. The tips of the triangles are truncated by h/8 to form the major diameter ( size ) d of the thread, and the bases are truncated by h/4 to form the minor diameter d1. It follows that d1 = d - 5 h/4 = d - 1.08 p. This leads to the rule of thumb for suitable tapping size

Thread Standards • ISO Metric thread system: Table 8-1 Major diameter (mm), • 2a= 60°Standard thread is RH • Specifications: e.g.: M12x1.75 or • M = Basic Metric, J = round root; 12 = nominal major diameter (mm); 1.75 = pitch (mm) • Tensile stress area At =p/4(dm+dr)/2 (see footnote T.8.1) MJ12x1.75
Thread Standards • The American National (Unified) Thread standards is used mainly in the US: Table-8-2 (Size designation) use d • UN=regular thread, UNR=round root (use root radius) • Specifications: 5/8”-18 UN, UNC, UNF • UNR, UNRC, UNRF • 5/8”=d 18 = N (thread size) • UN = Unified, F=fine, C=Coarse, R =Round Root
Thread Standards • Square (a) and The ACME Threads (b)-used mainly in power screws Table 8.3 gives preferred pitches for ACME threads
Power screw thread forms. [Note: All threads shown are external (i.e., on the screw, not on the nut); dm is the mean diameter of the thread contact and is approximately equal to (d + dr)/2.]

Mechanics of Power Screws • A power screw is a device that is common to tools or machinery that are used to change angular motion into translation. It is also capable of developing a large amount of mechanical advantage. Familiar applications include clamps or vises, presses, lathes lead screws, and jacks. The joyce warm-gear screw jack
