The screw and nut mechanism is a fundamental component used to convert rotational motion into linear motion. By utilizing a threaded rod or shaft, this device enables the transmission of torque from one point to another. The screw's threads mesh with those of the nut, creating a secure connection that withstands significant forces. This mechanism is commonly employed in applications such as tightening loose parts, positioning equipment, and holding objects in place.
