Thanks, to go into more detail, there consists of an insert positioned at the same degree angle as the taper (45 degree) and encloses the taper on one side. So, as the screw is driven downwards the insert extends outwards. The load is applied to that insert which only makes contact to the...
A cone set screw (any hardness/material/or size) is in the vertical position and a load is applied perpendicular to the screw (only making contact with the taper of the cone).
What type of formula could I use to calculate how much load the set screw can bear.
