Threaded Threaded elements are used extensively in the manufacture of almost all engineer ing designs. The screws provide a relatively quick and easy to hold together two parts and to exert a force that can be used to adjust inserts. DEFINITIONS OF T HE TERMINOLOGY OF THREAD Thread: is a continuous thread of uniform section, coiled like an ellipse on the outer and inner surface of a cylinder. External thread: a thread on the outer s urface of a cylinder. Internal Thread: thread is carved on the inside of a piece , such as a nut. Inside diameter: the largest diameter of an internal or externa l threads. Core diameter: the smaller diameter of an internal or external thread s. Diameter on the flanks (or half) is the diameter of an imaginary cylinder pas sing through the fillet at the point where the width of these is equal to the sp ace between them. Step: is the distance between successive crests of two fillets . The distance from a point on a steak to the corresponding point on the fillet adjacent measured parallel to the axis. Preview: is the distance that would adva nce the screw on the nut in a rotation. For a single threaded screw advancement is equal to the step, to a double screw, progress is twice the step, and so on.

PAIS International Germany Russia England France Spain Italy America REPRESENTATION, annotations and STANDARD PARTS DESIGNATION The vast diversity of mechanisms and machines in general, a large number of accessory parts that comp ose them have shapes and dimensions and a predetermined set of rules, ie, they a re standard parts. In general, the use of standard parts is greatly facilitated the work of drawing, as using this type of piece, we avoid having to make corres ponding shop drawings. These rules specify: shape, dimensions, tolerances, mater ials, and other technical characteristics. DESIGNATION OF THE SCREWS Basically, the designation of a screw includes the following information: type of screw acc ording to the shape of his head, description of the thread, length and standard that defines it. These data can be added others, relating to material strength, precision, etc. Example: Hexagon screw M20 x 2 x 60 x 8.8 960.mg DIN To analyze each element to see that. a) Title or name: Screw Hexagonal b) Designation of Th read: M20 x 2 c) Shaft length: 60 d) To: Heads in dish-shaped knob MECHANICAL AREA RAGGIO Page 2 of 10 TECHNICAL SCHOOLS MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY THREAD AND BOLTS e) Standard that specifies the shape and characteristics of the screw: DIN 960 f ) mg: Implementation and measurement accuracy g) 8.8: kind of resistance or mech anical properties. Length involved in the description is as follows: 1. 2. In ge neral, the relevant length corresponds to the total length of the stem. To end w ith lug bolts, the relevant length includes the length of the pin. 3. For counte rsunk screws, the length shown is the total length of the screw. L d d L L d DESIGNATION OF THE THREAD. The designation or nomenclature of the thread is to i dentify the main elements involved in the manufacture of a particular thread, it is through his representative and indicating the point size of outer diameter a nd pitch. The latter is indicated directly in millimeters for the metric, while the unified thread Witworth is indicated by the number of existing threads withi n an inch. For example, the screw M 3.5 x 0.6 indicates a normal metric 3.5 mm o uter diameter with a pitch of 0.6 mm. The thread W 3 / 4''- 10 is equivalent to a normal Witworth thread 3 / 4 inch outside diameter and 10 threads per inch.Th e designation of the threads and Unified Do differently: For example a classific ation in a plane normal workshop could be: 1 / 4-28 UNF - 3B - LH And the examin ation of each element must be: 1 / 4 inch is the nominal diameter of the thread. 28 is the number of threads per inch. UNF is the number of threads, in this cas e unified fine. 3B: 3 indicates the setting (the ratio between internal and exte rnal threads when assembled), B indicates an inner nut. An A indicates an extern al nut. LH indicates that the thread is left. (When no indication is assumed tha t the thread is right) The following table provides information to recognize the type of thread through its lyrics feature, listed most of the threads used in m echanical engineering MECHANICAL AREA RAGGIO Page 3 of 10 TECHNICAL SCHOOLS MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY THREAD AND BOLTS Tapping SimbolossSímbolos usual common name American Petroleum Institute Associa tion British International Standards Organisation Edison Screw Thread Thread bik e round fillet steaks trapesoidales Thread Thread Whitworth pipe thread passing armored normal fine pitch thread Thread Whitworth Whitworth Whitworth thread cyl indrical pipe thread Metric Thread Metric normal gait paso fino American Thread Unified p.

Similarly, if you have more than one entry indicates "2 ent" or "3 ent." If not indicated a nything about it, it underlies this is a thread of a entry and right forward dir ection. In American-made threads, add more symbols to report the degree of fit a nd treatments may create a thread with non-standard dimensions, but it is always advisable to use standard threads to acquire hardware, and facilitate the locat ion of the spare parts. The manufacture and machining of special parts increases the cost of any design, therefore recommend the use of the pieces are in place.

They are used to transmit motion in all types of machine tools, jacks, pres ses big "C" clamps and fasteners. Acme threads have a thread angle of 29 ° and a large flat face on the crest and the root. Acme threads are designed to replace the square thread, which is difficult to manufacture and brittle. There are thr ee kinds of Acme threads, 2G, 3G and 4G, and each has gaps in all dimensions to allow free movement. 2G class threads are used in most sets. 3G and 4G classes a re used when allowing less play or play, such as the spindle of a lathe or a mil ling machine table.

Types of Screws: Screw • Union: Used for joining two pieces and is made through a hole (unthread ed) from one and screwing in the other, as the nut. • Intern Screw: A screw thro ugh the bonded without tapping into any of them. They are used for molding or li ght alloys • Asparagus. It is a threaded rod at both ends without change in diam eter. One end is screwed into the piece while the other has external thread, has no head and the subject is achieved by means of a nut. • self-tapping screws: T hese are used for connections to be skipping rarely recommended for soft metals or steels least 50 pounds of resistance, body, fine mechanics and electronics. • Set Screw: A screw rod by one or both ends, its placement is between the nut an d bolt, drilled previously. MECHANICS OF FORCE OR POWER SCREWS Power screws are a device to change and usual ly linear to transmit power. More specifically the power screws are used: 1. To obtain a greater mechanical advantage in order to lift weights, as in the case o f cats such as screws cars. 2. To exert forces of great magnitude, as in the hom e or in a compacting press. 3. For precise positioning of an axis movement, as i n a micrometer screw or lead screw of a lathe. In each of these applications usi ng a torque on the ends of the screws through gear sets, thereby creating a burd en on the device. In power screws using the Acme thread profile.

The name given to the threaded fasteners depends on the purpose for which the y were made and not how it is actually used in specific cases. If you remember t his basic fact will not be difficult to distinguish between a screw and a bolt. If an item is designed so that its primary function is being installed into a ta pped hole, called a screw. Therefore, a screw is tightened using a torque in his head. If an item is designed to be installed with a nut, bolt is called. Thus, the bol ts are tightened by applying torque to the nut.
