ACME General Purpose Thread Design Calculator

ANSI Standard Hardware Menu

Acme General Purpose Screw Threads per. ASME/ANSI B1.5

This ACME Thread General Purpose Design Calculator will determine the three classes of General Purpose, 2G, 3G, and 4G, for the
external and internal threads. In application, it is suggested that external and internal threads of the same class be used together for
general purpose assemblies, Class 2G being the preferred choice. If less backlash or end play is desired, Classes 3G and 4G are provided.

Equations utilized in this calculator are derived from ASME/ANSI B1.8.
