1848 ALTERNATIVE CENTRALIZING ACME SCREW THREADS<br />

60-Degree Stub Thread<br />

A clearance of at least 0.02 × pitch is added to depth h to produce extra depth, thus avoiding<br />

interference with threads of mating part at minor or major diameters.<br />

Basic thread thickness at pitch line = 0.5 × pitch p; basic depth h = 0.433 × pitch; basic<br />

width of flat at crest = 0.25 × pitch; width of flat at root of screw thread = 0.227 × pitch;<br />

basic pitch diameter = basic major diameter − 0.433 × pitch; basic minor diameter = basic<br />

major diameter − 0.866 × pitch.<br />

Square Thread.—The square thread is so named because the section is square, the depth,<br />

in the case of a screw, being equal to the width or one-half the pitch. The thread groove in a<br />

square-threaded nut is made a little greater than one-half the pitch in order to provide a<br />

slight clearance for the screw; hence, the tools used for threading square-threaded taps are<br />

a little less in width at the point than one-half the pitch. The pitch of a square thread is usually<br />

twice the pitch of an American St<strong>and</strong>ard thread of corresponding diameter. The square<br />

thread has been superseded quite largely by the Acme form which has several advantages.<br />

See ACME SCREW THREADS.<br />

10-Degree Modified Square Thread: The included angle between the sides of the thread<br />

is 10 degrees (see accompanying diagram). The angle of 10 degrees results in a thread<br />

which is the practical equivalent of a “square thread,” <strong>and</strong> yet is capable of economical production.<br />

Multiple thread milling cutters <strong>and</strong> ground thread taps should not be specified for<br />

modified square threads of the larger lead angles without consulting the cutting tool manufacturer.<br />

Clearance (See Note)<br />

In the following formulas, D = basic major diameter; E = basic pitch diameter; K = basic<br />

minor diameter; p = pitch; h = basic depth of thread on screw depth when there is no clearance<br />

between root of screw <strong>and</strong> crest of thread on nut; t = basic thickness of thread at pitch<br />

line; F = basic width of flat at crest of screw thread; G = basic width of flat at root of screw<br />

thread; C = clearance between root of screw <strong>and</strong> crest of thread on nut: E = D − 0.5p; K = D<br />

− p; h = 0.5p (see Note); t = 0.5p; F = 0.4563p; G = 0.4563p − (0.17 × C).<br />

Note: A clearance should be added to depth h to avoid interference with threads of mating<br />

parts at minor or major diameters.<br />
