Basic Sciences - Structure of a Screw

Description

This video provides an introduction to the basic structure and function of a screw, a mechanical device that transforms rotational force into linear movement. It outlines the key components of a screw, starting with the head which contains a recess for the screwdriver, allowing attachment for turning. The shaft is described as the smooth area connecting the head to the threaded part. Viewers will learn about the screw's tip, which can either be self-tapping or not, and the significance of screw pitch as the distance between threads. The inner and outer diameters are defined, along with the transitional zone between the shaft and thread, offering a thorough understanding of the anatomy of a screw.
