tappiliitos

A tappiliitos is a type of mechanical fastener used primarily in Finland. The term translates roughly to "tapp joint" or "pin joint." It typically consists of a cylindrical pin or bolt that passes through aligned holes in two or more components, effectively securing them together. These pins are often designed to be a tight fit, creating a strong and stable connection.

The design of a tappiliitos can vary. Some may feature a smooth shank and require a threaded portion and nut on one end for tightening, while others might be secured with a cotter pin or a similar retaining device inserted through a hole at the end of the pin. The specific type of tappiliitos employed depends on the application, the required load-bearing capacity, and the environment in which it will be used.

Tappiliitokset are often found in agricultural machinery, construction equipment, and other heavy-duty applications where robust and reliable connections are essential. Their simplicity in design and ease of assembly or disassembly contribute to their widespread use in certain industrial sectors. The material used for the pin and the components being joined is typically chosen to withstand the expected stresses and environmental conditions.
