Thread. A word with which we all are familiar. The first relevance that arrives in our minds is the sewing thread. But that’s not the focus here.

Here we are discussing mechanical threads. Baffled yet? We’ll make it simple for you. In the mechanical industry, threads are valued massively.

If you don’t know what it means, then at the end of this reading you will know about the basics of mechanical threads.

The best manner of explaining a thread is by imagining a screw. We all have seen a screw, right? The circular ridges or risen portions which go around the slimmer vertical portion of a screw are called a thread.

They are nearly present in every type of object that is built. These threads play a huge role in the construction and upholding of large-sized objects.

To hold and manage different kinds of objects. They have to attach or be joined in some sort of another part on which it can rotate and wrap.

It is kind of similar to 2 coiled-up snakes, wires, braids, etc. For creating a difference we have classified them into two different categories.

The first one is male. It is the one with the ridges on the outside while the second one is called female which has the ridges on its inside. Joining them together can for a type of hold which is difficult to break due to the direction and number are circular ridges.

From their importance, it is well understood that they are also part of Metric Adapters. 

The parts keep holding on to each other even during a rain storm which shows how durable the two threads can be.
