Taper Cotter Pins
Video
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
