What is taper and slope in mechanical systems? What does proportion mean? Can you give me an example?
In mechanical manufacturing, the inclination angle of 1: 8 means that every 8 units of height in the horizontal direction will increase 1 unit, that is, the tangent of the inclination angle is 1/8.
Taper refers to the ratio of the diameter of the cone bottom surface to the height of the cone. If it is a frustum, it is the ratio of the diameter difference between the upper and lower bottom circles to the height of the frustum.
