Archeologists have also uncovered many Bronze Age swords and daggers with rivet holes where the handles would have been.
This thread form also allows for the use of a split nut, which can compensate for nut wear. [8] The line of General Purpose (GP) Acme threads (ASME/ANSI B1.5-1997) are not designed to sustain external radial loads and both the nut and bolt are, ideally, independently supported (the nut by a linear guide and the screw by shaft bearings).
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.
A swage nut or self-clinching nut is a type of nut or threaded insert that is used on sheet metal. It permanently anchors itself to the sheet metal by swaging the surrounding material.
