Thread pitch defines the distance between adjacent threads on the screw's thread profile. For example, a screw with a 1/4-20 thread designation in the United States has a 20 threads per inch pitch, meaning there are 20 complete threads within a 1-inch length of the screw. Similarly, a metric screw with an M8x1.25 thread designation has a pitch of 1.25 millimeters, indicating that there is 1.25 millimeters of linear distance between each thread.
The thread pitch is a critical parameter when selecting screws and nuts because it determines how fine or coarse the threading is and plays a significant role in the mechanical advantage, torque transmission, and application suitability of threaded fasteners.

∙ 9y agoIt is called simply "threads per length" . In US it is threads per inch. It is the reciprocal of the pitch. For example a screw with 32 threads per inch has a pitch of 1/32 inch. The pitch is distance between threads

What is Length of engagement in screw threads?
As I recall , 3 full threads is minimum engagement length
Definition of pitch of screw thread?
The pitch of a screw thread is a measure of how closely the threads are spaced. It can be expressed as the number of threads per unit length (32 threads per inch, for example) or as the distance between two threads ( such as .8 mm).
Why square threads are used in a screw jack?
§ 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.
What is the formula for a screws mechanical advantage?
The mechanical advantage of a screw is given as MA = circumference / pitch. The pitch of the screw is the number of threads per centimeter. The circumference is measured at the working portion of the screw, not the head.
Would a screw with more or less threads make work easier?
It is easier. The question is not complete enough to be answered. The word EASIER needs to be further defined. so the question should read: What is easier to [add information here]; more screw threads or less screw threads?

How does the number of threads on a screw affect the distance the screw moves?
the threads determine the depth the screw should move
Does the length of threads on a screw make a difference on how well it works?
no
What is the area called that the screw goes into The part with the ribs like that you screw the screw down into...?
The hole that you put a screw into is referred to as a "tapped hole". The rib-like things in the hole are called "threads" or, more specifically, "internal threads" as opposed to the external threads on a screw.
What are the spiral edges of a screw called?
Threads.
What is the distance betweenn the threads on a screw is called the?
pitch
What is the spiral part of a screw called?
Thread
Which has greater ima a screw driver with closely spaced threads or a screw driver with threads spaced farther apart?
a screw with closely spread threads
What is the name of the ridges on the part that you screw the bottle cap on the bottle?
They are called threads
How can you calculate the mechanical advantage of a screw machine?
2 x 3.14+ (number of screws) / number of threads
What is the spiral groove around the shaft of a screw called?
Thread
