Which of the following are true for buttress threads?

  • A.Combination of square and trapezoidal threads
  • B.Transmit motion in one direction only
  • C.They are used in vices
  • D.All of the mentioned

Answer: D

All three are true, so the answer is All of the mentioned.

A buttress thread has one flank almost square to the axis and the other inclined, so it combines the low friction and high efficiency of a square thread with the strength at the root of a trapezoidal (V-type) thread.

Because only the square flank carries the load efficiently, it transmits power in one direction only. That is exactly what is needed in vices, screw jacks and breech mechanisms of guns, where heavy force acts one way.
