Value Collection MSC67548040X Taper Pin Size 5/0 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67548040X is a Size 5/0 uncoated steel taper pin manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards. It features a small end diameter of 0.0784 inches and a large end diameter of 0.094 inches, with an overall length of 0.75 inches. The pin is machined from C-12L14 steel, a free-machining grade known for consistent dimensional accuracy and good machinability. Taper pins are used to secure components such as hubs, collars, and levers to shafts, providing a self-locking mechanical connection when driven into a tapered reamed hole. Installation and removal are straightforward, making this pin a practical fastening solution in precision mechanical assemblies.

This taper pin is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies in industrial, maintenance, and manufacturing environments. It is used wherever a reliable, removable pin connection is needed between mating components. The small size designation makes it appropriate for fine-tolerance applications such as instrument mechanisms, small shaft-to-hub connections, and precision tooling fixtures. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this type of fastener.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Size 5/0 taper pin per ANSI/ASME B18.8.2, compatible with any tapered reamed hole produced to the corresponding standard specification for this pin size.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a standard pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. The receiving hole must be reamed with a matching taper reamer to ensure full contact along the pin length. Always remove all mechanical load and de-energize or lock out the associated equipment before driving or removing the pin. Do not force an oversized pin into an undersized hole, as this can fracture the pin or damage the mating components.
