If the number of divisions on the circular scale is 100 and number of full rotations given to screw is 8 and distance moved by the screw is 4 mm, then what will be least count of the screw gauge ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
0.005 mm
Pitch = `(4)/(8)`mm = 0.5 mm
L.C. = `(0.5)/(100)` mm = 0.005 mm

The meehanism behind nut and bolt arrangement also works for screw gauge. In case of nut and bolt mechanism, with rotation of bolt, it has translational movement also. In one complete rotation of bolt, tip of bolt moves by a linear distance equal to linear distance between two consecutive threads on the screw, known as pitch in case of screw gauge, the circular scale is divided in several parths. The ratio of pitch and total number of divisions on circular scale is known as least count.
