Value Collection MP34847 Taper Pin Size 5 2in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP34847 is a Size 5 steel taper pin designed for mechanical assemblies that require a precise, removable connection between mating components such as shafts and hubs. Manufactured from C-12L14 free-machining steel in an uncoated finish, this pin measures 2 inches overall length with a small end diameter of 0.2474 inches and a large end diameter of 0.289 inches. The tapered geometry creates a self-locking fit when driven into a matching tapered hole, allowing secure torque transmission while remaining removable for maintenance and disassembly. Machinists, millwrights, and mechanical assemblers work with these pins in standard production and repair applications.

This taper pin is suited for use in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where shaft-to-collar or shaft-to-hub alignment and locking is required. The C-12L14 material grade provides good machinability and consistent dimensional accuracy, making it appropriate for production environments and repair shops. It conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards, ensuring dimensional interchangeability with other compliant components. Each package contains 10 pins, with a minimum order quantity of 1 package.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit taper pin for mechanical assemblies requiring an ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 compliant Size 5 taper pin.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically installed and removed by machinists or millwrights using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Always de-energize and lock out the machine before servicing any shaft-mounted components. Ensure the tapered hole is clean and free of burrs before driving the pin to avoid galling or improper seating. Do not reuse a taper pin that shows signs of deformation or surface damage.
