Skruvbar

Skruvbar is a term used in Swedish technical language to describe objects that can be fastened or connected by screws. It refers to components or features that have internal or external screw threads or are designed to be compatible with threaded fasteners. In practice, a skruvbar part has or mates with a screw, bolt, or threaded bore, allowing detachable assembly or adjustable positioning.

External and internal: An external skruvbar feature has a male thread and can be screwed into a corresponding internal thread, such as a nut or threaded hole. Conversely, an internal skruvbar feature contains a female thread that accepts a male threaded fastener.

Design and standards: The thread form, pitch, and length follow standard profiles to ensure interchangeability with common fasteners. Typical considerations include tolerances, fit allowance (such as bolt-hole clearance), material hardness, lubrication, and protection against galling.

Applications: Skruvbar descriptions appear in mechanical assemblies, furniture fittings, electronics enclosures, piping and plumbing fittings, and construction hardware, where screws provide secure yet detachable connections and adjustability.

Advantages and limitations: Advantages include ease of assembly, reusability, and modularity; limitations involve potential loosening under vibration and the need for proper torque and locking methods (thread locker, washers, or nyloc nuts).
