Pitch of a screw

Answer 1

The pitch of a screw is the distance between two adjacent threads of the screw, measured along the axis of the screw. It is typically measured in millimeters or inches and is an important aspect of screws that determines the amount of linear displacement produced by one complete revolution of the screw. The pitch of a screw also affects the rate at which it can move a load and the amount of force it can generate. In general, a screw with a larger pitch will move a load faster, but will generate less force than a screw with a smaller pitch.
