A Taper pin is a fastener used in mechanical engineering. A taper pin is a tapered rod of metal or hardwood used as a dowel to locate one part with reference to another or to secure two parts together by driving into a tapered hole passing through both parts. Taper pins are often used to position and secure mechanical components.
BS EN 22339 focuses on specifications and references International Standards for unhardened steel taper pins. BS EN 22339 specifies the characteristics of unhardened taper pins, with metric dimensions and nominal diameters, d, from0,6 to 50 mm inclusive.
BS EN 22339 on unhardened steel taper pins is useful for:
Taper pins are highly precise locating pins. Taper pins are commonly used in low torque, precision positioning and locking applications. They can be found in printing presses, gear hubs, and other mechanical assemblies.
BS EN 22339 provides you with dimension specifications related to the surface finish of taper pins that you need to adhere to. Following the guidelines given in BS EN 22339 helps you to design effective taper pins.
Following the specifications provided in BS EN 22339 lets you manufacture and supply high-quality unhardened steel taper pins to your customers. These customers will be able to safely use the unhardened steel taper pins.
