Value Collection -34854-3X Taper Pin Size 6 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -34854-3X is a Size 6 uncoated steel taper pin manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards. It measures 6 inches overall length with a small end diameter of 0.2162 inches and a large end diameter of 0.341 inches. The pin is made from C-12L14 free-machining steel, which provides consistent dimensional accuracy and good machinability. Taper pins are precision fastening devices used to secure hubs, collars, and similar components to shafts, holding alignment under load and allowing disassembly when needed. This pin is sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

This taper pin suits general industrial, mechanical, and maintenance applications where a reliable, removable shaft-to-hub connection is required. Typical uses include securing gears, cams, levers, and collars on shafts in machinery assemblies. The uncoated finish is appropriate for indoor or protected environments. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly specify Size 6 taper pins for medium-duty assembly work where standard ANSI dimensions are required for interchangeability.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically driven into reamed, tapered holes using a pin punch and hammer or a taper pin reamer set to achieve proper fit. Always ensure the mating hole is reamed to the correct taper before installation. De-energize and lock out all machinery before servicing any shaft or hub assembly. Remove taper pins by driving from the small end with an appropriate punch to avoid damaging mating components.
