The screw is one of the six simple machines, which are fundamental mechanical devices used to make work easier. Here are just a few examples of screw simple machines, which are used in a wide range of applications in various industries. Some examples of screw simple machines include:
Screwdriver: A screwdriver is a handheld tool that is used to turn screws by applying torque to the handle. It consists of a long, thin shaft with a flat or Phillips head at one end.
Jar lid: A jar lid is an example of a simple machine that uses a screw to secure the lid of the jar. The threads on the jar and lid allow the screw to be turned, securing the lid in place.
Clamp: A clamp is a device used to secure two objects together using a threaded screw. The screw is turned to apply pressure and hold the objects in place.
Bolt: A bolt is a threaded fastener that is used to secure two or more objects together. The threads on the bolt allow it to be screwed into a threaded hole or nut.
