What Are The ACME Threads Of Fastener?

ACME threads are a type of thread profile used in fasteners and are especially common in applications requiring frequent and rapid screwing and unscrewing. The ACME thread form is characterized by its trapezoidal shape, making it significantly different from the more common V-shaped profile found in metric and unified threads. This trapezoidal thread form is designed to offer several advantages, particularly in applications involving high loads and requiring durability and efficiency in power transmission.

As a professional fastener supplier, Xinchi fastener company is glad to introduce some characteristics of ACME Threads.

Trapezoidal Shape: The sides of ACME threads are at an angle of 29 degrees, giving them a trapezoidal outline. This shape allows for a larger base width than V-shaped threads, leading to a stronger thread capable of withstanding greater forces.

Efficiency: The thread design is more efficient in converting rotational motion to linear motion compared to square threads, mainly because it’s easier to manufacture with higher precision.

Wear Resistance: The broad base of the thread provides a larger contact area, which distributes the load more evenly and improves wear resistance.

Ease of Manufacturing: Despite being more complex than some other thread forms, ACME threads can be relatively easily manufactured with high precision, making them suitable for many industrial applications.
