Value Collection 34823X Taper Pin Size 0 2 Inches Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34823X is a Size 0 steel taper pin manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards. It features a small end diameter of 0.1144 inches and a large end diameter of 0.156 inches, with an overall length of 2 inches. Machined from C-12L14 steel in an uncoated finish, this taper pin is designed for securing components on shafts, aligning mating parts, and providing positive, repeatable positioning in mechanical assemblies. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians work with these fasteners in manufacturing and industrial maintenance settings.

Size 0 taper pins are used in light-duty mechanical assemblies where precise alignment and secure component retention are required. Common applications include securing collars, gears, and levers to shafts, as well as aligning housing halves and fixture components. The gradual taper allows the pin to seat tightly under light driving force and release cleanly during disassembly. This pin is suited for both original equipment and field repair applications across general manufacturing, agriculture, and industrial machinery environments.

Key Features

• ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standard compliance for consistent dimensional accuracy
• C-12L14 steel construction for reliable strength in light-duty assemblies
• Size 0 with 2-inch overall length for use in compact shaft and hub connections
• Minimum diameter tolerance of -0.0007 inches and maximum of 0.0013 inches for precise fitment
• Uncoated finish suitable for standard indoor mechanical environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 Size 0 taper pin for use in any tapered-pin reamed hole conforming to that standard. Consult component drawings to confirm hole taper and pin size before installation.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are installed by machinists or millwrights using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press after confirming the mating hole has been reamed to the correct taper. Always de-energize and lock out machinery before pin installation or removal. Do not force an oversized pin into an undersized hole, as this can crack the hub or collar. Removal is performed by driving the pin from the small end using a tapered punch.
