The tapered key is tapered only on the side that engages the hub. The keyway in the hub has a taper that matches that of the tapered key. Some taper keys have a gib, or tab, for easy removal during disassembly. The purpose of the taper is to secure the key itself, as well as to firmly engage the shaft to the hub without the need for a set screw.
The disadvantage of this is that the driver needs to get out of the vehicle to activate the hubs. In some other vehicles, automatic locking hubs are used which, as the name implies, engage automatically when 4WD is engaged. The main advantage is that the driver does not need to leave the vehicle to connect the wheels to the axle.
These consist of a shaft at the hub, with an external screw thread, a straight external spline section and a tapered interface at the hub base. The wheel centers have internal splines and a matching taper to align and center them on the hub. The wheels are fastened to the hub by means of a winged, threaded nut, called a "knock-off" or "spinner."
In oil field tubing, buttress thread is a pipe thread form designed to provide a tight hydraulic seal. The thread form is similar to that of Acme thread [10] but there are two distinct threaded portions of differing diameters and profiles, the larger having a wedging profile, with a tapered sealing portion in between the larger and smaller diameters.
A form of taper pin that precedes these standards is the clock pin, used to accurately and repeatably register parts of a clock to one another. Clock pins do not have a standardised taper, but they generally have a more pronounced taper than the standard engineering pins. The size or gauge is defined by diameter at each end, and the length.
The same goes for deep-fried turkey—pull it out of the oil briefly to insert the thermometer. When grilling, make sure to check the temperature on the side facing away from the heat source.
Identification between the two can be made by examining the hub: the protrusion of the hub through the center of the wheel denotes the preferred 10.5-inch full-floating rear axle. While the 9.5-inch rear end exhibits its own durability, it is generally considered less favorable for high-torque applications.
