Value Collection 34847X Taper Pin Size 5 2in Steel

Product Description

The Value Collection 34847X is a Size 5 taper pin manufactured from C-12L14 steel with no coating applied. Taper pins are precision-ground fasteners used to secure hubs, collars, and other components to shafts, providing a reliable and removable mechanical connection. This pin measures 2 inches in overall length, with a small end diameter of 0.2474 inches and a large end diameter of 0.289 inches. Dimensional tolerances conform to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2, making it a standard-compliant replacement or new-installation option for maintenance technicians and machine builders working with tapered pin connections.

Size 5 taper pins see regular use in general industrial and mechanical assembly applications, including HVAC equipment, pump drives, fan assemblies, and other rotating machinery where shaft-to-hub alignment and load transfer are required. The C-12L14 free-machining steel grade provides good machinability and consistent dimensional accuracy, which is important when driving the pin into a reamed taper hole. This part is sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI/ASME B18.8.2-compliant Size 5 taper pin for use in any application requiring a reamed taper pin hole of the corresponding size.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically installed by machinists or mechanical maintenance technicians using a taper pin reamer to prepare the receiving hole, followed by driving the pin with a hammer or press. Always de-energize and lock out the machine before servicing any shaft or hub assembly. The pin should be driven from the small end and seated firmly; do not force an oversized pin into an underreamed hole, as this can split the hub or collar.
