Zavítaný

Zavítaný is a Czech term that describes something that has been threaded or has had threads cut into it. This can refer to a variety of objects, most commonly screws, bolts, nuts, and pipes. The process of creating these threads is known as zavítávání, which translates to threading or tapping.

In mechanical engineering, zavítaný components are fundamental for joining parts together securely. Screws and bolts with their characteristic helical grooves are zavítaný to engage with the internal threads of a nut or a pre-threaded hole. The precision of the zavítaný is crucial for the strength and reliability of the connection. Different types of threads exist, such as metric, unified, and pipe threads, each with specific dimensions and pitches, all of which are created through the zavítaný process.

The term can also be used more broadly to describe any object where a spiral groove has been formed, for example, on certain types of tools or decorative elements. The concept of zavítaný highlights the importance of threads in both functional and aesthetic applications in Czech craftsmanship and engineering.
