acme thread
when lead of the screw is equal to the pitch it is called single threaded screw
Taps and dies are used in threading. To make an internal thread, you drill a hole smaller than the thread width, then slowly screw a 'tap' into it cutting a thread very slowly. -For an external thread, you choose a rod or bolt larger than the final thread, then screw a hard, threaded disc down onto it.
Cast iron is the material often used to design screw jacks because of its strength.
screw gage
A wood screw will have a courser type thread and will have a sharper point.
a screw jack is a jack that actually screws in and out as you raise or lower the jack the shaft has a big thread ,like a bolt. It is ideally used for lifting and lowering loads. It can be used in a mechanics or even in theatre's for raising and lowering people onto a stage.
in case of simple screw jack it's single start square thread in case of worm geared screw jack it's double start square thread double start gives greater speed but requires more torque ,hence worm geared :)
An acme thread is the most commonly used.
Two reasons. 1 - converting rotary motion to linear motion. 2 - too much force.
§ Screw threads have better compression strength than other threads. § Due to low thread angle there is no radial pressure on nut. § Due to smaller angle, the lead of screw is less.

A screw jack works by using a threaded screw to lift heavy loads. When the screw is turned, it moves up or down, causing the jack to raise or lower the load. The mechanical advantage of the screw thread allows for the lifting of heavy objects with less effort.
the leadscrew is used for thread cutting on a lathe
This is a tool that is used to measure the pitch diameter of a screw. This tool looks like a standard micrometer except that the anvils are specially configured to reach into the screw thread groove and touch the pitch diameter of the screw thread. The screw thread micrometer does not measure any other aspect of the screw thread. It does not measure the: pitch; threads-per-inch; major diameter; minor diameter; flank angles; lead; helix angle.
A thread rolling machine is used to cut external screw threads on round metal bars to take the internal screw thread of a nut (as in a nut and bolt).
The angle of a thread of a screw is an angle between the threads and it is the defining factor for the shape of the screw thread.
