TRAPEZOIDAL SCREW-THREAD

A trapezoidal screw-threadis motion (translating). It is mainly used for transformation of motion rotation on straight line motion. The sizes of a single trapezoidal screw-thread regulate State Standard 9484-81, and a multiple-thread is State Standard 2439-81. The thread profile is shown in fig. 4.8.

Denotation of a thread (fig.4.9) consists of the the Latin letters T_r , external (nominal) diameter and other parameters in accordance with the general rules of marking the threads.

The example of the conventional denotation of threads is with the nominal diameter 36 mm:

1. Tr36x18(P6)LH-8H – triple thread with a thread lead 18mm and a pitch 6mm, internal, with the tolerance band 8Н, left-hand;

2. Tr36x6-6g – a external thread with the tolerance band 6g and a pitch 6mm, right-hand.
