Value Collection KP64649X Taper Pin Size 2/0 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP64649X is a size 2/0 uncoated steel taper pin manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards. The pin features a small end diameter of 0.1254 inches and a large end diameter of 0.141 inches, with an overall length of 0.75 inches. Machined from grade C-12L14 steel, this taper pin delivers consistent dimensional accuracy within a diameter tolerance range of -0.0007 to +0.0013 inches. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians use taper pins to secure hubs, collars, and assemblies to shafts where precise, repeatable alignment is required.

This taper pin is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies in industrial, manufacturing, and maintenance applications. The size 2/0 designation corresponds to a standardized taper geometry that fits matched-reamed holes, allowing components to be driven in and removed without damaging mating parts. It is appropriate for use in shaft-to-hub connections, gear assemblies, and fixture alignment where a removable, self-locking fastener is needed.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a size 2/0 taper pin with a matched-reamed hole per ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 specifications.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically installed by machinists or millwrights using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. The mating hole must be reamed to the correct taper using a standard taper reamer before installation. Ensure all rotating machinery and powered equipment is de-energized and locked out before servicing any shaft-mounted assembly. Do not force an oversized pin into an under-reamed hole, as this can crack the hub or deform the pin.
