What is tappered pin?

A taper pin is a type of fastener with a slightly conical shape designed to fit into a corresponding hole. It is commonly used to fasten two pieces of material together, such as joining shafts or gears. The taper shape of the pin allows for a tight, secure fit and holds the pieces firmly in place. Taper pins are typically made from steel, stainless steel, or brass, and come in a variety of sizes and lengths to meet specific application requirements. They are often installed using a hammer or a hydraulic press and can be easily removed using a specialized removal tool. Taper pins are commonly used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and construction, among others.
