Threads and Fasteners Summary
Summary • What will we learn in Chapter 5? • How to represent fasteners and threads on an engineering drawing. • How to calculate bolt and screw clearance holes. • Key points • Threads are represented by thread symbols, not by a realistic drawing.
Threads and Fasteners 5.1) Fasteners
Fasteners • Fasteners include: • bolts and nuts (threaded) • set screws (threaded) • washers • keys • pins • Fasteners are not a permanent means of assembly such as welding or adhesives.
Fasteners • Fasteners and threaded features must be specified on your engineering drawing. • Threaded features: Threads are specified in a thread note. • General Fasteners: Purchasing information must be given to allow the fastener to be ordered correctly.
Threads and Fasteners 5.2) Screw Thread Definitions
Thread Definitions • Screw Thread:A ridge of uniform section in the form of a helix.
Thread Definitions • External Thread:External threads are on the outside of a member. • A chamfer on the end of the screw thread makes it easier to engage the nut. Chamfer
Thread Definitions • External Thread: • An external thread is cut using a die or a lathe.
Thread Definitions • Internal Thread:Internal threads are on the inside of a member. • An internal thread is cut using a tap.
Thread Definitions • Major DIA (D):The largest diameter (For both internal and external threads). • Minor DIA (d):The smallest diameter. • Depth of thread:(D-d)/2 • Pitch DIA (dP): The diameter at which a line cuts the spaces and threads equally.

Thread Definitions • Crest:The top surface. • Root:The bottom Surface. • Side:The surface between the crest and root.

Thread Definitions • Pitch (P):The distance from a point on a screw thread to a corresponding point on the next thread (in/Threads). • Angle of Thread (A):The angle between the threads.
Thread Definitions • Screw Axis:The longitudinal centerline. • Lead:The distance a screw thread advances axially in one turn.

Thread Definitions • Right Handed Thread:Advances when turned CW. (Threads are assumed RH unless specified otherwise.) • Left Handed Thread:Advances when turned CCW.
Application Question 5-1 • Name an example of a left handed thread. Left peddle of a bike
Threads and Fasteners 5.3) Types of Thread
Types of Thread • There are many different types of thread forms (shape) available. The most common are; • Unified • Metric
Types of Thread • Thread form choice depends on; • what it will be used for • length of engagement • load • etc…
Threads and Fasteners 5.4) Manufacturing Screw Threads
Manufacturing Threads • Internal Threads • First a tap drill hole is cut with a twist drill. The tap drill hole is a little bigger than the minor diameter. Why?
Manufacturing Threads • Internal Threads • Then the threads are cut using a tap. Incomplete threads The tap drill hole is longer than the length of the threads. Why?
Manufacturing Threads • Internal Threads • Chamfers are sometimes cut to allow for easy engagement.
Manufacturing Threads • External Threads • You start with a shaft the same size as the major diameter.
Manufacturing Threads • External Threads • The threads are then cut using a die or on a lathe.
Threads and Fasteners 5.5) Drawing Screw Threads
Drawing Screw Threads • There are three methods of representing screw threads on a drawing. • Detailed • Schematic • Simplified • Screw thread representation present in this chapter is in accordance with the ASME Y14.6-2001 standard.
Detailed Representation • A detailed representation is a close approximation of the appearance of an actual screw thread.
Detailed Representation • Pros and Cons? Pro: Looks good and clearly represents a thread. Con: Takes a long time to draw.
Schematic Representation • The schematic representation uses staggered lines to represent the thread roots and crests.
Schematic Representation • Pros and Cons? Pro: Nearly as effective as the detailed representation and easier to draw. Con: Still takes some time to draw.
Schematic Representation • Rules of use for Schematic threads • Should not be used for hidden internal threads or sections of external threads.
Simplified Representation • The simplified representation uses visible and hidden lines to represent the major and minor diameters.
Simplified Representation • Pros and Cons? Pro: Simple and fast to draw. Con: Doesn’t look like a thread.
Drawing Screw Threads • Thread tables in the appendix can be used to look up value for the; • Pitch • Minor diameter • Tap drill diameter • If screw thread tables are not available, the minor diameter can be approximated as 75% of the major diameter.
