Precision Taper Pins
Taper Pins are round pins that the diameter uniformly increases along the length of the pin. Metric taper pins have a 1:50 taper which means that for every 50mm in length the diameter increases by 1mm. The nominal size is the diameter of the small end on the pin.Taper Pins are used in tapered holes where there is only access to one side of the hole.
Metric taper pins can be used to aid in critical alignments since the small end of the pin is inserted first it can pass into a hole that is not exactly aligned and as the diameter of the pin increases it forces the two holes to become exactly aligned. Taper Pins can also be used on assemblies that are expected to be disassembled and reassembled more frequently since they are generally easier to install and remove than dowel pins or spring tension pins.
