The Taper Lock Stud is installed into a threaded hole on a clamp body. The opposite end of the stud inserts into a Taper Lock Bush that fits around the steering hose. Tightening a nut or bolt on the stud threads pulls the tapered shank deeper into the bush, creating a powerful wedging action. This wedging force firmly secures the steering hose within the clamp, preventing leaks and ensuring the proper function of the steering system.Attributes:• Helps to dampen vibrations that could otherwise lead to the clamp loosening• Has high strength and wear resistanceApplications: The Taper Lock Stud is used to create a secure and powerful connection between a hydraulic hose fitting and a hydraulic clamp. Its tapered design allows for a tight and vibration-resistant joint.
