Leg adjustment mechanism

Post by rogerogrant »

Hey y'all!

Can anyone describe to me how adjustable legs are designed?

Like, obviously it's some sort of friction lock, but what exactly is under the knurled bit? Is it a collet of some sort? Are the threads in the knurled bit tapered to apply pressure as it's tightened?

Thanks!
