Value Collection MSC67548925X Taper Pin Size 0 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67548925X is a Size 0 steel taper pin manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards. It features a small end diameter of 0.1196 inches and a large end diameter of 0.156 inches, with an overall length of 1.75 inches. The pin is machined from C-12L14 free-machining steel and left uncoated, making it well suited for precision alignment and assembly applications. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians use taper pins to secure hubs, collars, and other components to shafts in a repeatable, self-locking fit. The tapered geometry ensures the pin seats firmly under load without fasteners.

This taper pin is used in light-duty to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where precise component alignment and positive locking are required. Typical applications include securing pulleys, gears, and couplings to shafts in industrial machinery, conveyor systems, and pump assemblies. The Size 0 designation suits smaller shaft diameters where a fine, accurate fit is critical. It is installed in machine shops and on the plant floor by machinists and mechanical technicians working on both new builds and repair work.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation taper pin for mechanical assemblies requiring a Size 0 ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 compliant taper pin.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically installed and removed by machinists or millwrights using a pin punch, hammer, or arbor press. Always de-energize and lock out the machine before servicing any shaft or hub assembly. Ensure the tapered reamed hole matches the pin size and taper before driving the pin to seat. Do not force an oversized pin into an undersized hole, as this can damage the hole geometry or split the hub.
