Summary
• What will we learn in this topic?
– How to represent threads on an engineering
drawing.
– How to calculate bolt and screw clearance holes.
• Key points
– Threads are represented by thread symbols, not
by a realistic drawing.

Fasteners
• Fasteners include:
– bolts and nuts (threaded)
– set screws (threaded)
– washers
– keys
– Pins

Thread Definitions
• Screw Thread: A ridge of uniform section in
the form of a helix.

Thread Definitions
• Major DIA (D): The largest diameter (For both
internal and external threads).

• Right Handed Thread: Advances when turned
CW. (Threads are assumed RH unless specified
otherwise.)

3) Types of Thread
28
Types of Thread
• There are many different types of thread
forms (shape) available. The most common
are;
– Unified
– Metric
29
Types of Thread
• Thread form choice depends on;
– what it will be used for
– length of engagement
– load
– etc…
30
Types of Thread (Form)
Thread Name Figure Uses
Unified screw General use.

ISO metric General use.
screw thread
Square Ideal thread
for power
transmission.

Types of Thread (Form)
Thread Name Figure Uses
ACME Stronger than
square thread.
Buttress Designed to
handle heavy
forces in one
direction.

Manufacturing Threads
• Internal Threads
– First a tap drill hole is cut with a twist drill.
34
Manufacturing Threads
• Internal Threads
– Then the threads are cut using a tap.
35
Manufacturing Threads
• Internal Threads
– Chamfers are sometimes cut to allow for easy
engagement.
36
Manufacturing Threads
• External Threads
– You start with a shaft the same size as the major
diameter.
37
Manufacturing Threads
• External Threads
– The threads are then cut using a die or on a lathe.
