2. Screw thread - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_thread

   A screw thread is a helical structure used to convert between rotational and linear movement or force. A screw thread is a ridge wrapped around a cylinder or cone in the form of a helix, with the former being called a straight thread and the latter called a tapered thread. A screw thread is the essential feature of the screw as a simple machine ...

3. Bolt (fastener) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolt_(fastener)

   A bolt is an externally helical threaded fastener that fastens objects with unthreaded holes together. This is done by applying a twisting force ( torque) to a matching nut. The bolt has an external male thread requiring a matching nut with a pre-formed female thread. [ 1] Unlike a screw, which holds objects together by the restricting motion ...

4. Unified Thread Standard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Thread_Standard

   Unified Thread Standard. The Unified Thread Standard ( UTS) defines a standard thread form and series—along with allowances, tolerances, and designations—for screw threads commonly used in the United States and Canada. It is the main standard for bolts, nuts, and a wide variety of other threaded fasteners used in these countries.

5. Bolted joint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolted_joint

   The preload developed in a bolt is due to the applied torque and is a function of the bolt diameter, the geometry of the threads, and the coefficients of friction that exist in the threads and under the torqued bolt head or nut. The stiffness of the components clamped by the bolt has no relation to the preload that is developed by the torque.

6. Nut (hardware) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nut_(hardware)

   Nut (hardware) An M4 nut threaded onto an Allen key socket head screw. A nut is a type of fastener with a threaded hole. Nuts are almost always used in conjunction with a mating bolt to fasten multiple parts together. The two partners are kept together by a combination of their threads' friction (with slight elastic deformation ), a slight ...

7. ISO metric screw thread - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_metric_screw_thread

   A metric ISO screw thread is designated by the letter M followed by the value of the nominal diameter D (the maximum thread diameter) and the pitch P, both expressed in millimetres and separated by a dash or sometimes the multiplication sign, × (e.g. M8-1.25 or M8×1.25). If the pitch is the normally used "coarse" pitch listed in ISO 261 or ...
