Acme Thread. This thread is the modified form of a square thread. Unlike the square thread, it is easier to cut and stronger at the root. The angle of the thread is 29°. The inclined sides of the thread facilitate quick and easy engagement and disengagement, as for example, the split out of the lead screw of a lathe. It is suitably used for power screws like the breaks screw, jack screws and ...

Start with a square thread first, to get the depth right, then go into the acme. The depth of the thread should make the nut about .01 bigger then the rod OD. The same with the ID, It should be OK after that. Acme's only touch on the flanks ! If you are worried about smooth fits, you might try taking a short piece.

Acme screws As mentioned above, lead screws for power transmission use trapezoidal thread forms. But the trapezoidal thread design can have a thread angle of either 29° or 30°, meaning there are two versions of trapezoidal lead screws. The first version — referred to as an Acme screw — has a 29° thread angle and is manufactured in inch dimensions.

The following quotation from the obituary from The Times of 24 January 1887 to Sir Joseph Whitworth (1803-1887) shows. The British Standard Fine (BSF) standard has the same thread angle as the BSW but has a finer thread pitch and smaller thread depth. This is more like the modern "mechanical" screw and was used for fine machinery and steel bolts.

Acme Screw Thread Form Terms . THREAD TYPES - The Acme thread form, established over 100 years ago, replaced square thread screws, which had straight-sided flanks and were difficult to manufacture. There are three main classes of Acme thread forms: General Purpose (G), Centralizing (C), and Stub Acme. The General Purpose and Centralizing thread forms have a nominal depth of thread of 0.50 × ...

The General Purpose ACME screw thread has three suggested classes-of-fit: 2G, 3G, and 4G which are defined in the ANSI B1.5 standard. Class 2G is the specification's preferred choice. If less backlash or end play is desired, Classes 3G and 4G are provided. There is also an obsolete class-of-fit (5G) which is not recommended for new designs.

The Dardelet self-locking screw thread was patented in 1936 and has a 29 degree thread angle like the Acme thread, but the threads have axial play, and the root of the bolt and the crest of the nut have a 6 degree taper. This allows the parts to screw together easily until seated, then the parts shift slightly as the nut is tightened, and the tapered surfaces wedge tightly together. Dardelet ...

There are three main classes of Acme thread forms: General Purpose (G), Centralizing (C), and Stub Acme. The General Purpose and Centralizing thread forms have a nominal depth of thread of 0.50 × pitch and have a 29° included thread angle. Some Nook sizes have 40° included angle. Trapezoidal thread forms have a 30° included thread angle.

There is a simple conversion for thread per inch into pitch. The pitch (distance from crest to crest) is the inverse of the threads per inch. For 20 threads per inch, 1/20 is equal to .05-inch pitch. The correct size hole in this example would be. 0.25 -.05 = .20-inch, or a 13/64-inch drill bit.

The Stub Acme is generally used for applications where a coarse pitch thread of shallow depth must be used due to mechanical or metallurgical considerations. A standard 1-1/2 - 5P Acme is planned for a specific part, but the amount of metal removal would reduce the minor diameter to the point where the torque would twist the part. The solution: use a 1-1/2″, 5-pitch two start, or 1-1/2 ...

There are two common methods to write the thread dimensions. 1.Thread sizes in inches are specified by diameter and threads per inch.

Stub Acme threads are utilized primarily where thin walls are incurred. Typically there are other mechanical and metallurgical issues, but a coarse pitch thread of shallow depth becomes the design criterion. As such, the Stub Acme thread is about 57% the height of a Regular Acme profile.
