  2. Helix angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helix_angle

    In screws especially, the helix angle is essential for calculating torque in power screw applications. The maximum efficiency for a screw is defined by the following equations: [ 4 ] α = 45 o − ϕ 2 {\displaystyle \alpha =45^{o}-{\frac {\phi }{2}}}

  3. Taper pin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taper_pin

    A taper pin is a fastener used in mechanical engineering. They are steel rods with one end having a slightly larger diameter than the other. Metric taper pins have a taper of 1:50. [1] A 1:50 taper means that one end of a 50 mm long bar will be 1 mm smaller in diameter than the other end.

  4. Thread angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_angle

    In mechanical engineering, the thread angle of a screw is the included angle between the thread flanks, measured in a plane containing the thread axis. [1] This is a defining factor for the shape of a screw thread .

  5. Machine taper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_taper

    The Jacobs Taper (abbreviated JT) is commonly used to secure drill press chucks to an arbor. The taper angles are not consistent varying from 1.41° per side for No. 0 (and the obscure # 2 + 1 ⁄ 2) to 2.33° per side for No. 2 (and No. 2 short). There are also several sizes between No. 2 and No. 3: No. 2 short, No. 6 and No. 33.

  6. Draft (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_(engineering)

    In engineering, draft is the amount of taper for molded or cast parts perpendicular to the parting line. It can be measured in degrees or mm/mm (in/in). Consider the fabrication of a hollow plastic box, without lid. Once the plastic has hardened around the mold, the mold must be removed. As the plastic hardens, it may contract slightly.

  7. Lead (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_(engineering)

    Definition of lead per ANSI/AGMA 1012-G05 Definition of lead angle per ANSI/AGMA 1012-G05 Depiction of the lead angle of a screw thread. d m is the mean diameter of the screw thread. Lead is the axial advance of a helix or screw during one complete turn (360°) [1] The lead for a screw thread is the axial travel for a single revolution. [2]

  8. Critical taper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_taper

    In mechanics and geodynamics, a critical taper is the equilibrium angle made by the far end of a wedge-shaped agglomeration of material that is being pushed by the near end. The angle of the critical taper is a function of the material properties within the wedge, pore fluid pressure, and strength of the fault (or décollement ) along the base ...

  9. Chord (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_(aeronautics)

    Mean aerodynamic chord (MAC) is defined as: [6] = (), where y is the coordinate along the wing span and c is the chord at the coordinate y.Other terms are as for SMC. The MAC is a two-dimensional representation of the whole wing. The pressure distribution over the entire wing can be reduced to a single lift force
