A tapered roller bearing is a unit that consists of both tapered raceways (inner and outer rings), and tapered rollers. The construction is intended for combination loads, such as dual acting axial and radial loads. The bearing axis is where the projected lines of the raceway combine at a common location to improve rolling, while reducing friction.
An open conical tube, that is, one in the shape of a frustum of a cone with both ends open, will have resonant frequencies approximately equal to those of an open cylindrical pipe of the same length. The resonant frequencies of a stopped conical tube — a complete cone or frustum with one end closed — satisfy a more complicated condition:
Luer taper, a standardized fitting system used for making leak-free connections between slightly conical syringe tips and needles; Tapered thread, a conical screw thread made of a helicoidal ridge wrapped around a cone; Machine taper, in machinery and engineering; Mark Taper Forum, a theatre in the Los Angeles Music Center
The earliest expansion of "TIR" was total indicated run-out and concerned cylindrical or tapered (conical) parts, where "run-out" (noun) refers to any imperfection of form that causes a rotating part such as a shaft to "run out" (verb), that is, to not rotate with perfect smoothness.
Crude versions of conically tapered ground glass joints have been made for quite a while, [1] particularly for stoppers for glass bottles and retorts. [2] Crude glass joints could still be made to seal well by grinding the two parts of a joint against each other using an abrasive grit, but this led to variations between joints and they would not seal well if mated to a different joint.
In manufacturing, a countersink (symbol: ⌵) is a conical hole cut into a manufactured object, or the cutter used to cut such a hole. A common use is to allow the head of a countersunk bolt , screw or rivet , when placed in the hole, to sit flush with or below the surface of the surrounding material (by comparison, a counterbore makes a flat ...

Spindle nose on a lathe headstock. The small female taper is a Morse taper to take a lathe center or a tool such as a twist drill. The large male taper takes a lathe chuck, which is retained by the large nut. A machine taper is a system for securing cutting tools or toolholders in the spindle of a machine tool or power tool.
