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 causes gulling of a lock-nut when used on a stainless steel bolt?

It may gall if it is of the same material as the bolt. It may need to be lubricated, that will prevent this; also, if over-torqued it may gall or strip the thread.


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 the apron on a lathe?

The apron on a lathe is suspended from the saddle. It houses a gearbox connecting the carriage hand wheel to the rack enabling longitudinal movement of the saddle. It also houses the half nut and its lever for thread cutting and power feed levers.


Why does hydraulic jack for main engine cylinder head gets stuck while opening?

If you are using the jacks to undo the head nuts you must back the jack off a full turn, pump the jacks up to pressure and you should then be able to back the nut off less than 1 full turn. If the nut is brought up to a stop against the jack and tension is released it will bind. On tightening down you can screw the jack down onto the nut without backing off, as when you tension you turn the nut down and away from the jack.

What kind of machine is a thread roll?

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).


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 the difference between screw and nut?

A nut is called screw when its head is tightend in component .but in case, tight of nut is not possible without bolt.since screw is tight without nut bolt it is not possible in case of nut.


What is the screw thread contact?

Screw thread contact refers to the surface interaction between the threads of two mating components, typically a screw and a nut or a bolt and a threaded hole. This contact is crucial for transferring loads, providing mechanical stability, and maintaining the integrity of the connection. Properly designed screw threads ensure efficient engagement, minimizing wear and preventing loosening under load. The contact can be influenced by factors such as thread profile, material properties, and lubrication conditions.

What does the A signify in the thread call out of 250-20UNC-2A?

A refers to the external thread of a screw or bolt. B means internal thread, specified for nuts and inserts. For example a 2A bolt uses a 2B nut


How do you fit bolt and nut?

Gauges to allow a person to calculate nut bolt size are widely available. Measuring the thread manually can be unreliable so it is far preferable to use a gauge.

What is the split nut in lathe?

The split nut, also known as half nut enables thread cutting on a lathe. It is engaged around the lead screw (which is housed in the apron attached to the saddle) and moves the saddle in the required direction at the required pitch.
