Taper pins are steel rods
with one end that has a slightly larger diameter than the other, and are
used in mechanical engineering. They are cylindrical pins with a
diameter that gradually decreases over a given length. Taper pins are
often used to position and secure mechanical components. They are held
in place using dry friction making them economical and easy to install.
The pin's tapered design increases in diameter from one end to the other
allowing for accurate, secure installation to tapered holes |
