Externally Threaded Taper Pins 7977


Externally Threaded Taper Pins are round pins that the diameter uniformly increases along the length of the pin and an external thread at the large end.

Externally Threaded Taper Pins are used in tapered holes where there is only access to one side of the hole. They 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. Threaded 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. Externally Threaded Taper Pins are removed by tightening a nut on the thread of the pin which will help to unseat it from the tapered hole.
