The most important terms and designations concerning lead screws. How do I actually recognise the core diameter? And what exactly is the pitch diameter? We have summarised the basic terms and designations on the subject of lead screws simply and clearly
What is the difference between left-hand and right-hand threads? How can I recognise the thread direction even without a test? The thread rotation direction right or left can be easily determined with a visual inspection. If you look at the lead screw from the front, you can best see the difference between left-hand and right-hand threads.
