Crest
it is what allows the screw to grip into the material its being screwed into. a screw without a thread is a nail
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.
An acme thread is the most commonly used.
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.
when lead of the screw is equal to the pitch it is called single threaded screw
Thread
screws have something called a thread, and this thread wraps around the screw. You can call the thread a kind of ramp, because this thread prevents the screw from falling off.
Thread
A screw or a 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.
The 3 main parts of a Screw thread are :- Root ....... (bottom) Flank ....... (sides) Crest ........(top)

The part of a screw that is wrapped around the central shaft of the screw is normally called a thread. It can be described technically as an inclined plane.
A screw operates by a raised ledge which proceeds up the shaft of the screw in a spiral. This raised ledge is called the thread of the screw. Since the spiral can either proceed in a clockwise or counterclockwise manner, we distinguish between right-hand thread screws (counterclockwise as viewed from above) and left-hand thread screws (clockwise).
acme thread
Yes, a parallel sided screw thread is in effect a worm gear.
