A half nut is literally a nut split in half, length wise and makes up the basic half-nut mechanism.
Such a mechanism is typically found on a engine lathe.
This mechanism can be "open" or "closed" and when closed clamps onto the lead screw of said lathe.
This forms a connection between the apron of the lathe sliding on the ways. The apron carries the cross and compound slides, the latter in turn holds the cutting tool.
When closed, or "engaged", the movement of the apron moves relative to the rotation of the lead screw. This lead screw is precise in nature and can be described in terms of threads per inch (or per meter or millimeter in case of metric).
The lead screw is also connected somehow (there are various methods) to the main motor of the lathe and this ratio of gears can be changed so that many variations of threading, all relative to the thread of the lead screw, can be accomplished on the workpiece being turned/threaded by the screw cutting operation.
On a basic older style lathe, the screw begin cut can not be cut in a single pass of the cutting tool. This means that the half-nut may need to be disengaged to reverse the direction of the apron allowing for the cutting operation to be repeated, each time engaging and re-engaging the half nut, until the depth of the screw being cut has reached a final thread depth.

What is Half Nut Mechanism in Lathe Machines?
Oh, dude, the Half Nut Mechanism in lathe machines is like the key to threading. It's this cool little gadget that engages the lead screw to control the movement of the carriage during threading operations. So, basically, it's like the lathe machine's way of saying, "Hey, let's make some threads without going full nut."
What is half-nut mechanism?
Well, darling, a half-nut mechanism is a component in a lathe that engages with the lead screw to move the carriage along the lathe bed. It's called a "half-nut" because it only engages with half of the lead screw's threads. Think of it like a sassy dance partner - they only commit halfway to the dance floor.
What is a screw thread mechanism?
Picture a nut on a screw. You are holding the nut so it can't turn, but allow it to go up and down the screw. The screw is restrained so it can turn, but not move back and forth. As you turn the screw one way and the other, the nut will move up and down the screw. That is a trivial example of one very common screw thread mechanism.
What is a Jesus Nut?
it is a nut that holds the main rotor to the mast of some helicopters. The Jesus Nut is the large nut on the top of the mast that holds the entire rotor blades and rotor mechanism to the mast. Bascially, it holds the weight of the aircraft by the top of the mast and if it should fail, then all you can do is say "Jesus!".

What is the mechanism of a door that splits in half when opened?
A door that splits in half when opened typically operates on a hinge mechanism that allows each half of the door to swing outward independently. This type of door is known as a "barn door" or "dutch door."

What direction should a pipe union be installed?
It doesn't really matter. I usually put the female half, the side with the nut on first so I don't forget to put the nut on the pipe before I put that half on the pipe.
