Value Collection -34859-2 Taper Pin Size 7 5in Uncoated Steel

Product Description

The Value Collection -34859-2 is a Size 7 uncoated steel taper pin manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards. It features a small end diameter of 0.305 inches and a large end diameter of 0.409 inches, with an overall length of 5 inches. The pin is machined from Grade C-12L14 steel, a free-machining carbon steel well suited to precision fastener applications. Taper pins are used to secure hubs, collars, and similar components to shafts, providing accurate and repeatable alignment. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install this type of fastener in mechanical assemblies where a removable, self-locking connection is required.

This taper pin is suited for general industrial and mechanical applications where Size 7 ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 taper pins are specified. Typical install scenarios include securing shaft collars, aligning mating components in light machinery, and fastening levers or pulleys to drive shafts. The self-locking taper geometry holds components firmly under load without additional hardware. This pin is packaged as a single unit.

Key Features

• ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standard compliance ensures dimensional interchangeability
• Grade C-12L14 free-machining steel construction for consistent tolerances
• Size 7 with 0.305 inch small end and 0.409 inch large end diameters
• 5 inch overall length suits a range of shaft and hub thicknesses
• Uncoated finish — suitable for indoor mechanical assemblies or further treatment as needed
• Self-locking taper geometry eliminates need for secondary retaining hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 Size 7 taper pin replacement for mechanical assemblies specifying this pin size and overall length.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically driven into reamed, tapered holes using a hammer and drift punch; the hole must be reamed to the correct taper before installation. De-energize and lock out all machinery before servicing any shaft or rotating component per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. A taper pin reamer matched to Size 7 is required to prepare or restore the receiving hole. To remove the pin, drive it out from the small end using a drift punch sized to fit the hole.
