English term or phrase: taper

The radius between the flange and face should be made larger than the largest diameter wire that the block will draw. The most crucial dimension is the taper(s) on the face of the block. While the radius simply creates a ramp effect to get the first wire wrap started, the correct taper is needed to keep each successive wrap of wire climbing smoothly up the block. A taper that is too big will make the wire wraps jump up the block without being pushed by the lower wraps. The top wrap then comes off of the block too high, throwing o ff its alignment with the next die. This can cause premature die wear and marking of the wire. When the taper is too small, there is not enough force to push the wraps up the block, causing overlaps and wire breaks.

afunilamento / conicidade

Explanation:
..., é necessário o afunilamento correto para manter cada volta de arame subindo suavemente bloco acima. Uma conicidade muito alta fará com que as voltas do arame saltem para cima no bloco sem ser empurrado pelas voltas inferiores.

Correção: na última linha da explicação/tradução, leia-se: "sem serem empurradas pelas voltas inferiores".

Nem sempre você poderá traduzir por um substantivo concreto. O contexto, em grande parte dos casos, exige substantivo abstrato, como é o caso da maior parte das vezes em que aparece, como "increase the taper" (aumente a conicidade), etc. Nas poucas vezes em que se refere à peça, traduza como "cone", mas são poucas. No seu texto, a maior parte das vezes é "conicidade" mesmo.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Blocks are referred to by several names, including blocks or capstans (most common), drums, heads or bull wheels. No matter how they are referred, most, if not all of the following information will apply. Some of the more common block elements include bore, face, flange, gripper slot, keyway, radius, taper, step and stripper slots.

Asker: Taper. The most crucial of all block parameters is taper. Correct taper is required to keep each successive wire wrap climbing smoothly, só as to avoid overlapping, and wire shooting up scenarios. The industry Standard for taper is the measurement of the angle with a centerline or straight edge, not the included angle. For example, a !/2° taper is equivalent to .0175 in. on the diameter; while a 1° taper is .035 in. The taper tolerance should be +/- .002". The basic guideline for taper is, if the wire is not climbing, increase the taper. If the wire shoots up, reduce taper. Also, small diameter wire requires more taper than larger diameter wire. Like most rales there are exceptions, and taper rales are no different. There are two exceptions to the aforementioned taper rales: (1) the need to create a step, and (2) the need to create double or multiple tapers.

Asker: Grinding The single most important process in block maintenance is grinding, and how it is done is tantamount to the overall block performance. Grinding is the process that controls concentricity, radius, taper, and ultimately finish. It is most criticai to the creation of double (multiple) tapers, and steps.

Asker: mas é uma peça do sarilho de trefilar! Você sugeriu substantivos abstratos, quando é algo concreto
