"Cable" Threads

[Ox]

I have heard Cable Threads mentioned here - maybe just once.

I find no ref to them online, in my Machinery Handbook, nor on Rainy's software.

Can anyone point my in a point of reference?

What is the context? I find references to cable threads as used in manufacturing cable.

These are a very high helix thread (Acme) that looks like it's made with a rad tool.

Cable I think in this instance refers to method of drilling wells - which goes back to the earliest days

A.P.I. may have some history on such things

 

[Ox]

These are under and inch in size.

Any chance that a multi-start knuckle thread would suit?

Can you be more specific as to what "cable threads" are? I don't know about the others here, but I have never heard that term before. Is this perhaps a slang term?

Photo? What/where are they used for? What area of technology or industry are they used for or in?

 

[Ox]

If I knew more, I wouldn't be asking.

I don't expect that many here have heard of them, so I'm not expecting much/any answers.

The only place I have ever heard them referred to was here at PM.

IIRC, it was WheelieKing who started the thread on them. Maybe he'll chime in here.

Progressive cavity pumps have a rope-like thread appearance.

I expect Ox is looking at making a winch drum . Bill

 

[Miguels244]

Drum threads or high helix multistart threads?

 

[Ox]

I expect Ox is looking at making a winch drum . Bill

Well, you would think so via the term eh?
These Shirley aint drums as they are just bolts, but that is essentially what they look like.

I may haft'a go back to the customer on this.

Well then you don't need this but I will post it anyway. (Winch drum, hoist drum, crane drum & drum design and manufacturing) scroll down a little for the document

Coil threads, check McMaster

Used in concrete form industry, will shed dried concrete,
when you go to loosen the nut.

Cable threading, forgot the actual name, used on large winch
drums

 

[Ox]

Yeah, the profile looks similar, but ....
I just noticed that these are LH yet to boot....

I guess we'll find out early next week....

IIRC they make a coil thread turnbuckle for attaching to 2x4 braces.
