GLOSSARY AND TECHNICAL DATA Acme 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 × pitch and have a 29° included thread angle. Some Nook sizes have 40° included angle. Trapezoidal thread forms have a 30° included thread angle. When compared to general-purpose thread forms,...

ACME SCREWS ACME Screw ENGINEERING FIG. 2 Single Start (Lead = Pitch) Double Start (Lead = 2 × Pitch) Four Start (Lead = 4 × Pitch) Lead Lead Pitch and Lead LAND (MAJOR) DIAMETER - The outside diameter of the screw. PITCH DIAMETER - On an acme screw, this diameter is approximately halfway between the land diameter and the root diameter. It is the diameter at which the thread thickness is equal to the space between threads. ROOT (MINOR) DIAMETER - The diameter of the screw measured at the bottom of the thread. PITCH - The axial distance between threads. Pitch is equal to the lead in a single start...

GLOSSARY AND TECHNICAL DATA continued MATCHED LEAD - When multiple screws are used to move a load with precise synchronicity, screws of similar lead accuracy can be factory selected and supplied as sets. Consult factory for matched lead set tolerances. FIG. 3 Adjustable backlash nut assembly STANDARD NUT STRAIGHTNESS - Although PowerAc™ Acme Screws are manufactured from straight, cylindrical material, internal stresses may cause the material to bend or yield. STANDARD FLANGE NO-LASH™ FLANGE STANDARD NUT When ordering random lengths or cut material without end machining, straightening is recommended....
