P
● Thread pitch in mm/revolution
● Thread pitch in inch/revolution
● Thread turns per inch
● Thread pitch in MODULUS

MODULUS
G
Change in thread pitch per revolution - (only for P = mm/rev or in/rev)
G = 0: The thread pitch P does not change.
G > 0: The thread pitch P increases by the value G per revolution.
G < 0: The thread pitch P decreases by the value G per revolution.
If the start and end pitch of the thread are known, the pitch change to be programmed
can be calculated as follows:
|P

G = ----------------- [mm/rev2]
2 * Z

The meanings are as follows:
P
e
: End pitch of thread [mm/rev]
P: Start pitch of thread [mm/rev]
Z
1
: Thread length [mm]
A larger pitch results in a larger distance between the thread turns on the workpiece.
