Pitch of screw:

  1. Pitch is the distance between screw grooves and is commonly used with inch-sized products, where it is specified as threads per inch.
  2. Lead is the amount of linear travel made by the nut per screw revolution and is how ball screws are typically specified.
  3. Single start screws have the same pitch and lead.
