  1. Threads and Fasteners

  2. Thread Terminology

  3. Thread Callouts - Metric (mm) (mm) (mm)

  4. Thread Callouts – ANSI Unified 1 – loosest fit 2 – normal fit 3 – most exact fit B represents internal thread UNC – Unified National Course UNF – Unified National Fine UNEF – Unified National Extra Fine UN – Unified National (in)

  5. Thread Callouts – ANSI Unified Assumes course threads with a nominal fit (2). (in)

  6. Goal: • connect the top part to the bottom part using a .75” long #10-24 cap screw which has a head taper of 82˚

  7. Steps: • buy the screw • drill a countersunk hole without threads into the top part • drill a threaded hole in the bottom part

  8. 2 things to know • if you tap a hole • the thread length should be at least twice the diameter of the hole • if you use a bolt to connect some bodies • the bolt should extend beyond the nut by at least two thread pitches

  9. Was able to download a SolidWorks part file of this cap screw.

  10. Use ‘hole wizard’ to place a tapered hole, through all, for a #10 flat head screw with an 82˚ head taper.

  11. Note that the major diameter of a #10 screw is 0.19” so we have clearance.

  12. Use ‘hole wizard’ to place a tapped hole for a #10-24 screw. I selected a hole depth of 0.51” and a threaded depth of 0.38” (typically there should be at least 2  dia. of thread, i.e. at least 0.38” of thread).

  13. This is the ‘default’ drawing after inserting dimensions from part file.

  16. Assembly with washers Select a 3/8-24 bolt to connect the parts.

  17. Assembly with washers and nut

  18. Determining Bolt Length

  19. Bolt length calculation Bolt must be 1.92” long plus the distance of 2 extra pitches. The bolt has 24 threads per inch. Two extra pitches will require an extra 1/12” of an inch. Total minimum length is 1.92+0.083 = 2.003” . Find the next longest available bolt.

  20. Smart Fasteners

  21. 2 things to remember • if you tap a hole • the thread length should be at least twice the diameter of the hole • if you use a bolt to connect some bodies • the bolt should extend beyond the nut by at least two thread pitches
