Explain the term ‘pitch’ of a screw gauge. How is it determined?

Open in App

Solution

The pitch of a screw gauge is the linear distance moved by its screw on the main scale when the circular scale is given one complete rotation.

If a screw moves by 1 mm along the axis in one rotation, then the pitch of the screw gauge is 1 mm.
