  2. British Association screw threads - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Association_screw...

    A 2BA thread is used to connect the metal barrel of a dart to its shaft — as such, it is one of the few common uses of this thread in North America. In the UK, 2BA threads are commonly found in the old imperial British Engineering Standards Association (BESA) conduit boxes , and 4BA threads in light switch and socket back boxes which are ...

  3. ASTM A325 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASTM_A325

    ASTM A325 is an ASTM International standard for heavy hex structural bolts, titled Standard Specification for Structural Bolts, Steel, Heat Treated, 120/105 ksi Minimum Tensile Strength. It defines mechanical properties for bolts that range from 1 ⁄ 2 to 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches (13 to 38 mm) in diameter.

  4. Main bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_bearing

    The lower half of the main bearings are typically held in place by 'bearing caps' which are secured to the engine block using bolts. The basic arrangement is for each bearing cap to have two bolts, but some engines may have four or six bolts per bearing cap (often referred to as "four-bolt mains" or "six-bolt mains" engines).

    In 1913, Woolley and Meredith defined them like Anthony, but gave the following dimensions: hex head cap screws up to and including 7 ⁄ 16 inch (11.1125 mm) have a head that is 3 ⁄ 16 inch (4.7625 mm) larger than the shank diameter; screws greater than 1 ⁄ 2 inch (12.7 mm) in diameter have a head that is 1 ⁄ 4 inch (6.35 mm) larger than ...

  6. Square thread form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_thread_form

    Dimensions of a square thread form. The square thread form is a common screw thread profile, used in high load applications such as leadscrews and jackscrews. It gets its name from the square cross-section of the thread. [1] It is the lowest friction and most efficient thread form, but it is difficult to fabricate.

  7. Roller screw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller_screw

    Timothy A. Erhart was awarded a US patent in 1996 for a linear actuator effectively incorporating an inverted bearing ring roller screw. [9] The screw shaft is grooved the length of and to match the grooved rollers, which travel with the shaft. The bearing ring is elongated and internally threaded for the length of screw shaft travel.

  8. Unified Thread Standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Thread_Standard

    The standard designation for a UTS thread is a number indicating the nominal (major) diameter of the thread, followed by the pitch measured in threads per inch.For diameters smaller than ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ inch, the diameter is indicated by an integer number defined in the standard; for all other diameters, the inch figure is given.

  9. Bearing (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_(mechanical)

    A ball bearing. A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion and reduces friction between moving parts.The design of the bearing may, for example, provide for free linear movement of the moving part or for free rotation around a fixed axis; or, it may prevent a motion by controlling the vectors of normal forces that bear on the moving parts.
