The invention is directed to a threaded shank (1) for engaging with a threaded further component (2), the further component (2)comprising a cylindrical first thread (3) with a uniform first thread pitch (31) and a uniform first thread angle (32) along an axial expanse of the first thread (3), the threaded shank (1) comprising a second thread (4) with a uniform second thread pitch (41) and a uniform second thread angle (42) along an axial expanse of the second thread (4) and comprising a third thread (5) with a uniform third thread pitch (51) and a uniform third thread angle (52) along an axial expanse of the third thread (5), the first thread angle (32) and the second thread angle (42) and the third thread angle (52) being substantially identical, the first thread pitch (31) and the second thread pitch (41) and the third thread pitch (51) being substantially identical, characterised in that the second thread (4) and the third thread (5) are spaced apart axially by a thread-free region (6), a second thread helix and a third thread helix have an axial offset (200) to one another.
