Value Collection 34852X Taper Pin Size 6 2 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34852X is a Size 6 uncoated steel taper pin manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards. It features a small end diameter of 0.2994 inches and a large end diameter of 0.341 inches, with an overall length of 2 inches. Constructed from C-12L14 free-machining steel, this taper pin provides reliable holding strength in precision assemblies where shaft-to-hub or component alignment must be maintained securely. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians use taper pins to lock components onto shafts or to align mating parts in mechanical assemblies.

This taper pin is suited for use in light-to-medium duty mechanical assemblies found in industrial equipment, machine tools, and production machinery. The standard taper geometry allows the pin to seat firmly under load without requiring adhesives or secondary locking features. It is appropriate for applications where disassembly and reassembly may be required periodically, since a taper pin can be driven out and reused when the hole is in good condition.

Key Features

• Size 6 taper pin with 0.2994-inch small end diameter and 0.341-inch large end diameter
• 2-inch overall length suits compact shaft-to-hub locking applications
• C-12L14 free-machining steel construction for consistent dimensional accuracy
• Uncoated finish — no additional surface treatment that could affect fit in precision bores
• Manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standards
• Diameter tolerance range of -0.0007 to +0.0013 inches for controlled fitment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 Size 6 taper pin for use in any mechanical assembly that specifies a Size 6 taper pin bore, including shaft-to-hub connections and alignment fixtures in industrial machinery.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically installed by machinists or millwrights using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. The mating bore must be reamed to the correct taper before installation. De-energize and lock out all equipment before working on any shaft or rotating assembly. To remove, drive the pin out from the small end using a pin punch of appropriate diameter.
