A screw made by cutting a single helical groove on the cylinder is known as single threaded or single-start screw and if a second thread is cut in the space between the grooves of the first a double threaded or double-start screw is formed. Similarly triple and quadruple . multiple-start threads may be formed. The helical grooves may be cut either right hand or left hand. A screwed joint is mainly composed of two elements . a bolt and nut. The screwed joints are widely used where the machine parts are required to be readily connected or disconnected without damage to the machine or the fastening. This may be for the purpose of holding or adjustment in assembly or service inspection repair or replacement or it may be for the manufacturing or assembly reasons. 377 CONTENTS 378 A Textbook of Machine Design The parts may be rigidly connected or provisions may be made for predetermined relative motion. Advantages and Disadvantages of Screwed Following are the advantages and .
