Value Collection MP34822 Taper Pin Size 0 Uncoated Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP34822 is a Size 0 uncoated steel taper pin manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards. The pin measures 1.5 inches in overall length with a small end diameter of 0.1248 inches and a large end diameter of 0.156 inches. Made from Grade C-12L14 steel, it provides consistent dimensional accuracy with a minimum diameter tolerance of 0.0007 inches and a maximum diameter tolerance of 0.0013 inches. Taper pins are precision fasteners used to secure hubs, collars, and other machine components to shafts. Installation and removal are straightforward with the correct pin punch and hammer. This part is sold in a package quantity of 10.

Taper pins of this size are used across a wide range of mechanical assemblies in industrial, HVAC, and general trade applications. Size 0 taper pins are well suited for lighter-duty shaft-to-hub connections where a removable, self-locking fit is required. They are commonly installed during equipment assembly or repair by millwrights, machinists, and maintenance technicians working on motors, pumps, blowers, and similar rotating equipment.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 Size 0 taper pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a removable shaft-to-hub or component-to-shaft connection where self-locking taper engagement is specified.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically installed and removed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or arbor press. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before servicing any shaft or rotating assembly. Ensure the tapered hole in the mating components is reamed to the correct ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 Size 0 taper before installation. Do not force an oversized pin into an under-reamed hole, as this can crack the hub or damage the shaft.
