Included angle between flanks of Acme thread is:

  • A.60 degree
  • B.90 degree
  • C.45 degree
  • D.29 degree

Answer: D

The included angle between the flanks of an Acme thread is 29 degrees.

The Acme thread is a trapezoidal power-transmission thread, used for lead screws on lathes and for screw jacks. Its 29 degree angle gives a stronger thread, easier to cut and engage with a split nut than a square thread.

60 degrees is the angle of ISO metric and unified threads. 45 degrees appears on one flank of a buttress thread. A 90 degree included angle is not used for screw threads.
