Common Threaded Fasteners

Fasteners for Light Gage Metal, Plastic, and Wood
Overview
Threaded fasteners are the most common and most used
parts in assemblies
Parts with counterbores, spotfaces are a direct result of
designers using these fasteners
In this lecture, the emphasis will be on how the threaded
fasteners are going to be represented in engineering drawing
Types of threaded fasteners available, and related
components that will be used in an assembly will be looked at
Fastening devices are important in construction of
manufacturing products, machines and many other devices

The lead L is the distance the threaded part would move parallel to
the axis during one complete rotation in relation to a fixed mating part
(the distance a screw would enter a threaded hole in one turn).

The pitch of a thread P is the distance from a point on the thread form
to the corresponding point on the next form, measured parallel to the
axis (Fig. 10-1-4).

Thread Class
These classes produce the loosest fit, that is, the greatest amount of
play (free motion) in assembly. Such as for stove bolts and other
rough bolts and nuts.
Classes 2A and 2B
In drawing it is designated in the following order; with 3-4 decimal places no of TPI form and series class of fit (number 1,2, or 3 and letter a,or b)

The number of the tolerance grades reflects the size of the tolerance.
This controls the MMC limits of the pitch and crest diameters of
the internal and external threads

The key things are the load that the screw should withstand and the type of
load (tension, shear, impact shock or vibration)
Once this is determined, then the size, strength, head shape and thread
type can be selected

Studs are shafts threaded at both ends, and they are used in
assemblies. The exposed end is threaded over with a nut
