30 maj 2012 · Cutting a multi-start thread is relatively easy. Some controls have an address function to index the thread for the 2nd and any successive leads of the thread being cut, as indicated by cadcamwiz, but what works on all controls is to shift the start point of the threading tool by a distance equal to the thread lead divided by the number of starts.
2 paź 2017 · I can cut double-start threads by using a leadscrew with a pitch of 2mm, triple-start threads with a leadscrew of 3mm, and quad-start threads with a 4mm lead screw.
Machining a double lead, 11 pitch Acme thread out of a bronze alloy using a Proto Trak SLX CNC lathe.
Acme is a trapezoidal thread profile with a 29° V angle, defined in ASTM B1.5. It is the most popular thread used for traversing linear motion (For example, leadscrews and power screws) due to its ability to withstand large loads and ease of manufacturing.
20 wrz 2014 · Since it's a 2-Start thread, you need to change the lead to 2 x Pitch. When both starts are cut you get the correct pitch between starts. The rule of thumb I use with any kind of ACME or API thread is at least 4 x Lead for the run-in distance
18 maj 2017 · The charts below display the information for all common UN/Metric threads as well as the lead and lead angle for double and triple start versions of each thread. The lead angle represented in the chart is a function of a thread’s lead and major diameter as seen in the equation above.
Common options are double lead, triple lead, or quad lead. When using multiple lead ACME taps it requires special understanding over the lead. A 10-pitch, double lead tap will have two leads each a 5-pitch.
