【No. 0376】Rotation Direction of Screws
Dec 29, 2015 17:00
I think many people know the rotation direction of screws when tightening.
That's right, it's clockwise.
The reason is because that right handed people are the majority in the world, and it's easy to strain in a clockwise for them.
However, there are some exceptions.
For example, since fan blades rotate in clockwise, screws of fans are tightened in counterclockwise to prevent from loosening.
For the same reason, bicycle pedals of the left side are also tightened in counterclockwise.

ねじの締める方向
多くの人は、ねじの締める方向を知っていると思います。
そう、基本的には時計回りです。
この理由は、世界には右利きの人の割合が高く、右利きだと時計回りに力を入れやすいからだと言われています。
しかし、幾つか例外もあります。
例えば、扇風機は羽根が時計回りに回転するため、扇風機のねじは緩まないように反時計回りになっています。
同様の理由で、自転車の左側のペダルも反時計回りでしめます。

Physics is awesome, isn't it? :)
The exceptions you mentioned might be due to the law of conservation of angular momentum, but I'm not sure.

Thank you so much always for correcting my post! :)
They might be due to directed vibrational energies, but I'm not sure too, haha.
