Value Collection 34833X Taper Pin Size 2 Uncoated Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34833X is a Size 2 taper pin manufactured from uncoated C-12L14 steel. It provides a reliable, self-locking mechanical fastening solution for aligning and securing components on shafts, hubs, and assemblies. The pin measures 2 inches overall length with a small end diameter of 0.1514 inches and a large end diameter of 0.193 inches. The tapered profile creates a tight friction fit when driven into a reamed hole, resisting rotation and axial movement without threads or adhesives. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install these pins in precision mechanical assemblies where repeatable disassembly and reassembly are required.

This taper pin is suited for light-to-medium duty shaft-to-hub connections, pivot points, and mechanical stop applications found in industrial machinery, conveyor systems, and general fabrication work. The C-12L14 free-machining steel grade offers good machinability and surface finish. The uncoated finish is appropriate for indoor or protected applications where corrosion exposure is minimal. This product is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 100 units per order.

Key Features

• Size 2 taper pin with 2 inches overall length for precise shaft and hub alignment
• Small end diameter of 0.1514 inches and large end diameter of 0.193 inches
• Manufactured from C-12L14 free-machining steel for consistent dimensional accuracy
• Diameter tolerance range of -0.0007 to +0.0013 inches per ANSI/ASME B18.8.2
• Uncoated finish suitable for protected indoor mechanical assemblies
• Self-locking taper profile eliminates need for threads or retaining compounds

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Size 2 taper pin conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 specifications, compatible with any reamed taper hole ground to the corresponding Size 2 taper pin standard.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a taper pin reamer to prepare the hole to the correct taper, followed by driving the pin with a hammer or press until seated. Always ream holes to the proper taper before installation - forcing an oversized pin into an under-reamed hole can crack the workpiece. To remove, drive the pin out from the small end using a pin punch. Ensure machinery is fully de-energized and locked out before servicing any assembly containing taper pins.
