Correct option is C
Headless tapered bolts are commonly used in
marine shaft couplings because of their specific design and advantages for such applications:
Why Headless Tapered Bolts Are Used in Marine Shaft Couplings:
·
Strong and Secure Fit:
· The tapered design provides a
tight fit, ensuring the coupling remains secure under high torque and vibrations.
·
Self-Locking Mechanism:
· The taper ensures the bolt remains tightly in place, even under dynamic loads.
·
Compact Design:
· Being
headless, they save space and reduce the risk of interference with other parts in tight marine installations.
·
Ease of Removal:
· The tapered design allows for easy removal when maintenance is required.
