Helix angle the helix angle. The efficiency can be plotted versus the helix angle for a constant friction, as shown in the adjacent diagram. The maximum efficiency is a helix angle between 40 and 45 degrees, however a reasonable efficiency is achieved above 15°. Due to difficulties in forming the thread, helix angle greater than 30° are rarely used. Moreover, above 30° the friction angle becomes smaller than the helix angle and the nut is no longer self-locking and the mechanical advantage disappears. In helical and worm gears, the helix angle denotes the standard pitch circle unless otherwise specified. Application of the
900 Degrees 900 Degrees "900 Degrees" is a song by German DJ and producer Ian Pooley. The song was released as a single from his sixth studio album, "Since Then", released in October 2001. Upon its release, the song peaked within the top 60 on the UK Singles chart and remained Pooley's highest-peaking UK single for more than a year, until his 2002 single "Piha" peaked higher. The song also entered the "Billboard" Hot Dance Breakouts Maxi-Single Sales chart, becoming his first chart entry there. "900 Degrees" samples two other songs: "Make That Move," a 1980 soul/funk song recorded by Shalamar; and
