SUMMARY
Cold rolling is preferred over traditional material removal machining, such as lathe turning, for the threading of power screws, particularly in applications like car jacks with square or trapezoidal threading. This method is significantly faster and more cost-effective for large-scale manufacturing. Additionally, roll-formed threads exhibit superior strength compared to cut threads, making cold rolling a more advantageous choice in industrial settings.
