Ohh, conical fits (I hope that is the correct translation) is the thing we have been discussing in university lately. Answer to Your question is: No. Because You skipped another (and IMHO the most important) factor: specific use-case also applies. What I mean - the angle of taper determines: 1) how well both parts are centered each to other - the smaller angle, the better centering; 2) how much will the distance between bases of both cones change as the surfaces of cones wear off - the larger the angle, the smaller the distance, tolerances on each cone also will increase the tolerance of the fit dimensions for smaller cone angle values; So larger angle improves one, the smaller angle improves the other, so the optimum value lies somewhere inbetween, changing in different situations. That is why there is not the one and only answer (which is also my answer to Your original question). The way I see it now is that the load and material will determine mostly the diameter (and length) of the taper, but the application of particular mechanism (required precision of assembly etc) is the main factor to determine the angle value.
