Types of Threads in Engineering by rethinamk is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Threads are helical ridges used to join parts together or transmit motion. External threads are cut on the outside of cylinders while internal threads are cut on the inside. Right-hand threads tighten clockwise while left-hand threads tighten counter-clockwise. Common thread terminology includes crest, root, pitch, lead, and thread angle. Various thread forms exist for different applications such as V threads, square threads, ACME threads, and worm threads. Threads are cut using lathes or taps and dies.
