M52 x .75 thread data

M52 x .75 thread data

M52 x .75 thread data

(OP)
Hello,
I'm looking for the thread data (maj, min pitch) for a M52 x .75. I tried to calculte it but I'm missing one value for the .75.

Thanks!

RE: M52 x .75 thread data

(OP)
Sorry, the thread I am asking about is an external M52 x .75 thread. It is a filter thread used in opitcal instruments

RE: M52 x .75 thread data

What value are you looking for?  M52 x .75 is 52mm OD and .75mm pitch.  Any other value (i.e. root diameter) can be calculated, knowing that M threads are 60 degree triangles.

Yep,
I know what 52mm x .75 means. Trying to do the calculation via the Machinery's handbook. While trying to calculate the min PD the table does not list .75 as an option for 45-90mm basic major. I believe that I can get close or will probably just do it the old fashion way and single point it until the mate fits.

RE: M52 x .75 thread data

A M52 x 0.75 thread is commonly used in camera lens. That might be a good place to start looking.

RE: M52 x .75 thread data

I'm looking at Machinery's Handbook, 25th, in Threads and Threading, Metric Screw Threads, Formulas for M Profile Screw thread Limiting Dimensions.  It lists formulas for internal and external threads.

RE: M52 x .75 thread data

I used to machine these type of threads for optics on cnc lathe
I used to get the data from a smaller but same pitch thread
and just adjust the dia data by simple maths

RE: M52 x .75 thread data

1.3333 Threads per inch ? How about threads per mm  
It should be 33.8667 threads per inch
Assuming all other dimensions in mm (you didn't say)

RE: M52 x .75 thread data

Thank You, everyone. Problem solved.
