Value Collection MSC67548842X Taper Pin Size 0 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67548842X is a Size 0 taper pin machined from C-12L14 steel with no coating applied. Taper pins are precision fasteners used to secure hubs, collars, and similar components to shafts, providing reliable axial and rotational location. This pin has a small end diameter of 0.13 inches and a large end diameter of 0.156 inches, with an overall length of 1.25 inches. The C-12L14 grade steel offers good machinability and consistent dimensional accuracy, making it well suited for production and maintenance environments where repeatable fits are required. Installation and removal are performed with standard taper pin reamers and punches.

This taper pin is used in mechanical assemblies across general manufacturing, maintenance, and repair applications. Typical use cases include securing gears, pulleys, and collars on shafts in light to medium-duty machinery. The Size 0 designation follows ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards, allowing direct specification and replacement in applications designed to that standard. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers in both shop and field settings.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized taper pin reamer to prepare the mating hole before driving the pin. De-energize and lock out all equipment before beginning work. Drive the pin with a pin punch and hammer, seating it until snug; do not overdrive, as this can split the hub or distort the bore. Removal is performed by driving the pin out from the large end using an appropriately sized punch.
