Value Collection MSC67548362X Taper Pin Size 3/0 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67548362X is a Size 3/0 uncoated steel taper pin manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards. It features a small end diameter of 0.1042 inches and a large end diameter of 0.125 inches, with an overall length of 1 inch. The pin is machined from Grade C-12L14 steel, a free-machining carbon steel known for consistent dimensional control and good shear strength in light-duty fastening applications. Taper pins are used to secure hubs, collars, and machine components to shafts, providing a self-locking fit that resists vibration-induced loosening. Installation and removal are straightforward with standard pin punches and reamers. This pin is sized for precision machine assembly work performed by machinists and maintenance technicians.

This taper pin is suited for light industrial and general machine assembly applications where a removable, self-locking shaft connection is required. The Size 3/0 designation follows the ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 taper pin sizing system, making it a standard replacement or new-build fastener in maintenance, repair, and original equipment manufacturing contexts. Typical applications include securing pulleys, gears, and collars on small-diameter shafts in both manual and automated machinery.

Key Features

• ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 compliant taper pin for standardized fitment
• Grade C-12L14 free-machining steel construction for consistent tolerances
• Small end diameter: 0.1042 inches with a minimum diameter tolerance of -0.0007 inches and maximum of 0.0013 inches
• Large end diameter: 0.125 inches
• Overall length of 1 inch suits compact shaft connection applications
• Uncoated finish — no plating interference with precision tapered hole engagement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 Size 3/0 taper pin for use in any application requiring a pin with a 0.1042-inch small end diameter and a 0.125-inch large end diameter across a 1-inch length.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tapered reamer to prepare the mating hole, followed by driving the pin with a hammer and pin punch. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before servicing any shaft-mounted component. Do not force an oversized pin into an unprepared hole, as this can crack the hub or distort the shaft. Removal is accomplished by driving the pin out from the small end using an appropriate punch.
