gängfog

Gängfog is a term used in metalworking and engineering to describe a type of mechanical joint created by interlocking threads of two components. This joint is commonly achieved through the use of screws, bolts, nuts, and threaded holes. The principle behind a gängfog is that the helical ridges on one part engage with the corresponding helical grooves on another, creating a strong, secure connection that can resist both axial and shear forces.

The formation of a gängfog relies on precise manufacturing tolerances to ensure proper engagement and a tight fit. When force is applied, the threads distribute the load across a larger surface area compared to simple friction joints. This makes gängfog joints particularly effective for applications requiring high strength, durability, and the ability to be assembled and disassembled.

Common examples of gängfog applications include assembling machinery, constructing buildings, and securing components in vehicles. The reliability and versatility of gängfog joints have made them a fundamental element in a wide range of industrial and everyday applications. The specific design and material of the threaded components can be chosen to suit the intended environment and load requirements, allowing for a broad spectrum of applications from delicate electronic devices to heavy industrial equipment.
