What to Focus On

  • Machine parts are individual components that form complete mechanical systems
  • Fasteners are classified as temporary or permanent based on their removability
  • Temporary fasteners allow for easy disassembly and maintenance
  • Screw threads are continuous helical grooves that enable fastening
  • Pitch determines the mechanical advantage and holding power
  • Lead equals pitch for single-start threads
  • V-threads are used for fastening due to their wedge action
  • Square threads are used for power transmission with less friction
  • B.S.W. threads have 55° angle with rounded crests and roots

Common Mistakes to Avoid

External threads are represented by continuous thick lines for both major and minor diameters

Internal threads are represented exactly the same as external threads

Bolt length includes the height of the bolt head

Memory Tips

Major parts of a screw thread (Crest, Root, Flank, Thread Angle)

BSW thread profile has 55-degree angle and rounded crests/roots

Metric thread has 60-degree angle with flat crest and rounded root

Square thread has equal width spaces and thread portions (P/2 each)
