Value Collection 34831X Taper Pin Size 2 1 Inch Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34831X is a Size 2 taper pin machined from C-12L14 steel and supplied in an uncoated finish. Taper pins are precision fasteners used to secure hubs, collars, and other components to shafts by wedging into a matching tapered hole. This pin measures 1 inch in overall length with a small end diameter of 0.1722 inches and a large end diameter of 0.193 inches. Diameter tolerances are held to -0.0007 inches on the low side and +0.0013 inches on the high side, meeting ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards. Installation and removal are straightforward, making taper pins a common choice in mechanical assemblies where precise, repeatable alignment is required.

This taper pin is suited for general industrial and mechanical applications where a reliable, removable shaft-to-hub connection is needed. Typical uses include machine tool assemblies, gear and pulley mounting, and light structural connections. The C-12L14 free-machining steel grade offers good machinability and consistent dimensional accuracy, making it a practical choice for production environments and maintenance repairs. This SKU is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it appropriate for production procurement or stocking purposes.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a taper pin reamer to prepare the mating hole, followed by driving the pin into place with a hammer and pin punch. Always ensure the reamed hole matches the ANSI Size 2 taper specification before installation. To remove, drive the pin out from the small end using a punch sized to fit. De-energize and lock out any machinery before performing pin installation or removal on live equipment.
