Most screw threads are oriented so that when seen from above, the screw shaft moves away from the viewer (the screw is tightened) when turned in a clockwise direction. [ 21 ] [ 22 ] This is known as a right-handed ( RH ) thread, because it follows the right hand grip rule : when the fingers of the right hand are curled around the shaft in the ...
A knuckle joint on a locomotive, seen behind the pin joint of the eccentric crank. Ball-point pen included for size. A mechanical joint is a section of a machine which is used to connect one or more mechanical parts to another. Mechanical joints may be temporary or permanent; most types are designed to be disassembled.
The reversing rod, which connects to the valve gear, is attached to the lever either above or below the pivot in an alignment that gives good leverage. A square pin is arranged to engage with notches cut in the plates and holds the lever (and valve gear) in the desired position when the trigger is released.
A cotter is a pin or wedge with a flat bearing surface passing through a hole to fix parts tightly together. In British usage cotter pin has the same meaning, [1] but in the U.S. it means a split pin. Typical applications are in fixing a crank to its crankshaft, as in a bicycle, and a piston rod to a crosshead, as in a steam engine. The angle ...
At the frog end, a screw adjuster tightens or loosens the hair. The frog may be decorated with two eyes made of shell, with or without surrounding metal rings. A flat slide usually made of ebony and shell covers the mortise where the hair is held by its wedge. A metal ferrule holds the hair-spreading wedge and the shell slide in place. Just ...
A spring pin (also called tension pin or roll pin) is a mechanical fastener that secures the position of two or more parts of a machine relative to each other. Spring pins have a body diameter which is larger than the diameter of the hole they are intended for, and a chamfer on either one or both ends to facilitate starting the pin into the hole.

Where L e is the thread engagement length, A t is the tensile stress area, D is the major diameter of the screw, and p is the pitch. This equation only holds true if the screw and female thread materials are the same. If they are not the same, then the following equations can be used to determine the additional thread length that is required: [14]
