kartioliitännät
Kartioliitännät, also known as tapered connections, are a common mechanical fastening method used to join cylindrical parts. They rely on the precise fitting of a male cone into a female cone, creating a secure and often self-locking joint. The friction generated by the tight fit between the two tapered surfaces is what provides the holding power. This design is advantageous because it allows for easy assembly and disassembly, as well as the ability to adjust the fit.
The effectiveness of a kartioliitäntä is dependent on the accuracy of the taper angle and the surface
Beyond simple friction-based connections, some kartioliitännät incorporate additional features for enhanced security. For instance, keys, pins,
