Locking Taper Assembly Strength
Locking Taper Assembly Strength
(OP)
Howdy,
My question has to do with the holding force of locking tapers such as Morse and Browne & Sharp; i.e. how can I predict the force required to disassemble a taper assembly by pulling only? Is there a formula/data (theoretical or empirical) that relates the variables (angle, modulus, surface finish, coef. of friction, insertion force, etc.) to the force required to disassemble the joint?

Also, if slipping axially on the shaft is your main concern, you could step the shaft, assuming the slip is in one direction.
Hope this helps.
RE: Locking Taper Assembly Strength
Could you point me in the direction of a source of the torque data you referred to in your post?
Thanks
