Product details
A Stub Acme thread is a variant of the standard Acme thread characterized by a reduced thread depth or height. This modification allows for use in applications where a coarse pitch thread is needed but space constraints prevent using a standard Acme thread. Here's a more detailed explanation: Key Differences and Characteristics: Reduced Thread Height: Stub Acme threads have a shorter thread depth compared to standard Acme threads. Coarse Pitch: They maintain a coarse pitch, similar to standard Acme threads. Use in Thin-Walled Applications: They are particularly suited for applications where thin walls prevent the use of standard Acme threads, such as in some oil field equipment. Standardization: Stub Acme threads are defined by American National Standard ASME/ANSI B1.8-1988 (R2001). Applications: Thin-Walled Components: Where space constraints limit thread depth, such as in certain oil field equipment. Applications Requiring Coarse Pitch: When a coarse pitch is needed but a shallow thread depth is required. Specific Mechanical or Metallurgical Considerations: Stub Acme threads are used in situations where mechanical or metallurgical factors dictate a coarse-pitch, shallow-depth thread.
