when lead of the screw is equal to the pitch it is called single threaded screw
screw thread are single threads which means they are not double
By 'single threaded' you really mean single start thread. So there is just one continuous thread running up the screw. Double start thread means that two threads start from the point and run up the screw entwined with each other. For the same thread spacing the double start will screw into the wood twice as quick but require more torque to drive it. Double or Twin start often used with power screwdrivers.
acme thread
screw gage
You can find one online at many different stores. You can try www.precisionscrewthread.com or www.Ball-Screws.Industrial101.com. Ball Screw thread is very advanced and complicated technology. For getting ball screw thread you will need good and advanced CNC machine.

The ANSI B1.11 Microscope Objective Screw Threads standard covers the single screw thread size: 0.8000"-36 AMO. The standard lays out the screw thread parameters and the parameters for screw thread gauging. There is some mis-information published on the web related to this screw thread which is corrected at this webpage: http://www.ring-plug-thread-gages.com/ti-spec-ANSI-ASME-B1.11.htm
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.

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 :)
it is what allows the screw to grip into the material its being screwed into. a screw without a thread is a nail
acme thread
Yes, a parallel sided screw thread is in effect a worm gear.
when a spiral groove is cut over a hole, then it is nut thread. when a spiral groove is cut over a shaft, then it is screw thread.
The helix angle of a screw thread is the angle formed between the thread's helix and a plane perpendicular to the axis of the screw. It is determined by the pitch of the thread (the distance between adjacent threads) and the diameter of the screw. A larger helix angle generally indicates a coarser thread, while a smaller angle corresponds to a finer thread. This angle is crucial for understanding the screw's mechanical properties and performance in applications.
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.
The advantage of a double or triple thread over a single is that you develop more travel per rotation while maintaining large thread surface area. You will often find double/triple threads in linear actuators and CNC machines because it increases the rate of travel for a given rpm while maintaining thread strength.
