Abstract
A mechanical connector, including a telescopically assembled mechanical connector, is provided with one or more sets of threads on substantially matching frustoconical surfaces of a pin and a box of the connector. Thread generatrix angles on the loaded and unloaded sides of the threads are measured to normals to the shared axes of the box and of the pin. This invention introduces mismatching of the generatrix angles along the interacting surfaces on the loaded and/or unloaded sides of the threads, which result in slight interference fit(s) along the thread surfaces. The effect is more even distribution of the bearing loads on the threads, reductions in the maximum shear loading and more uniform bending of the threads. Already good leak resistance of the connector can be additionally improved. The above modifications can be introduced to traditional connectors and to connectors designed to transfer high torsional loads.
