Value Collection MSC67548727X Taper Pin Size 2/0 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67548727X is a Size 2/0 uncoated steel taper pin manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards. Made from C-12L14 steel, this taper pin measures 2.5 inches in overall length with a small end diameter of 0.089 inches and a large end diameter of 0.141 inches. Taper pins are precision fasteners used to secure components such as hubs, collars, and levers onto shafts, providing a reliable and removable connection. The uncoated finish suits general industrial and mechanical assembly applications where additional corrosion protection is not required. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the typical installers of this type of hardware.

This taper pin is suited for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a standardized, self-locking wedge-fit fastener. The ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 specification governs dimensional tolerances, making this pin interchangeable with other compliant Size 2/0 taper pins used in light mechanical and industrial equipment. Minimum diameter tolerance is -0.0007 inches and maximum diameter tolerance is 0.0013 inches, ensuring predictable fit across standard taper-reamed holes.

Key Features

• Conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standard for dimensional consistency
• C-12L14 steel construction provides good machinability and strength
• Small end diameter of 0.089 inches, large end diameter of 0.141 inches
• 2.5 inches overall length suits standard Size 2/0 taper-reamed applications
• Uncoated finish for general-purpose mechanical assembly use
• Tight diameter tolerances support reliable, repeatable fit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Size 2/0 ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 compliant taper pin for use in taper-reamed holes in mechanical and industrial assemblies requiring a removable shaft-to-hub connection.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are installed by a machinist or maintenance technician using a properly sized taper reamer to prepare the receiving hole before pin insertion. Drive the pin using a pin punch and hammer, ensuring the hole is properly aligned and the mating components are secured before driving. Power down and lock out any machinery before servicing assemblies that contain taper pins. Do not force an oversized pin into an undersized hole, as this can damage the reamed bore or the pin itself.
