    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_and_bolt_types

    The screw itself should be drilled a minimum of 1" into the concrete to hold effectively and a maximum of 1-3/4" or the threads will wear and will lose holding power. Ideally 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" of screw thread in the concrete. [1] So for example, if a 1/2" board is being screwed onto the concrete, a 1-3/4" to 2" concrete screw should be used ...

  3. Screw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw

    An externally threaded fastener that has thread form which prohibits assembly with a nut having a straight thread of multiple pitch length is a screw. (Example: wood screws, tapping screws.) [59] This distinction is consistent with ASME B18.2.1 and some dictionary definitions for screw [60] [61] and bolt. [62] [63] [64]

  4. Screw mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_mechanism

    [2] [3] The screw passes through a hole in another object or medium, with threads on the inside of the hole that mesh with the screw's threads. When the shaft of the screw is rotated relative to the stationary threads, the screw moves along its axis relative to the medium surrounding it; for example rotating a wood screw forces it

  5. Archimedes' screw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_screw

    The screw pump is the oldest positive displacement pump. [1] The first records of a water screw, or screw pump, date back to Hellenistic Egypt before the 3rd century BC. [1] [3] The Egyptian screw, used to lift water from the Nile, was composed of tubes wound round a cylinder; as the entire unit rotates, water is lifted within the spiral tube to the higher elevation.

  6. Leadscrew - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leadscrew

    A leadscrew (or lead screw), also known as a power screw [1] or translation screw, [2] is a screw used as a linkage in a machine, to translate turning motion into linear motion. Because of the large area of sliding contact between their male and female members, screw threads have larger frictional energy losses compared to other linkages.

  7. Bolt (fastener) - Wikipedia

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

    This definition allows ambiguity in the description of a fastener depending on the application it is actually used for, and the terms screw and bolt are widely used by different people or in different countries to apply to the same or varying fastener. In British terminology, a cap screw is a bolt that has threads all the way to the head.

  8. Screw thread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_thread

    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 and also as a threaded fastener.

  9. Worm drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worm_drive

    The tightening screw's worm thread engages with the slots on the clamp band. Occasionally a worm drive is designed to run in reverse, resulting in the worm shaft turning much faster than the input. Examples of this may be seen in some hand-cranked centrifuges, blacksmithing forge blower, or the wind governor in a musical box.
