Is the taper a Morse taper?
How can I measure it accurately?

A Morse taper looks to have a shallower slope than what's found on ball joints, which seem to be more in the 6* to almost 10* range with 7.15* being one of the most common. Guess you'll be adding one of these to your shopping list?  http://stores.ebay.com/XKUT ken |

Hi Guys, Results so far... 1. Took Picture 2. Imported image in to QCAD. 3. Drew lines on edges. 4. Used "Angle between two Lines" to measure angle. 5. Result = 3.56Deg. 6. Not a morse taper (No susprise there) 7. Could a CNC mill be used to measure this ??? |

Peter, have you taken into account that it's only that part of the pin which fits into the track rod which is tapered, with the majority of the shank having a uniform diameter? A (very) quick check with a set of calipers suggests that the included angle of the tapered section might be closer to 6*. Isn't it going to be nigh on impossible to create a hole into which that pin would fit unless the part was built up from discrete sections?  ken subarupete wrote: Hi Guys, Results so far... 1.

Hi Ken, Realise the shank near the ball is Parallel, the angle was measured with reference to this. Also I will try with digital caliers and some trig. My measurements .......small end of the taper is 11.85mm Large end 12.93 Length 12.32mm. The idea is to use this part with a fabricated steering arm and a slightly modified track-rod end. Potentially cheaper than a rod end and also uses Citroen parts But as you suggest, discreet sections make it more complex to construct...................... Peter |
