Value Collection MSC67549006X Taper Pin Size 0 Steel

Product Description

The Value Collection MSC67549006X is a Size 0 steel taper pin manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards. Made from C-12L14 steel in an uncoated finish, this pin measures 2.5 inches in overall length with a small end diameter of 0.104 inches and a large end diameter of 0.156 inches. Taper pins are precision fastening components used to secure hubs, collars, and levers to shafts, relying on the tapered profile to create a self-locking fit when driven into a matching reamed hole. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers install these pins in production and repair applications where reliable, removable shaft-to-hub connections are required.

This Size 0 taper pin is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies in both industrial and commercial maintenance settings. Typical applications include securing small gears, couplings, or collars to shafts in pumps, conveyors, and general power transmission equipment. The C-12L14 free-machining steel grade provides good machinability and consistent dimensional accuracy, making these pins a practical choice for high-volume assembly work or field replacement tasks where ANSI-standard fitment is needed.

Key Features

• ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standard compliance ensures interchangeability with mating reamed holes
• C-12L14 free-machining steel grade for consistent dimensional accuracy
• Size 0 taper with 0.104-inch small end and 0.156-inch large end diameter
• 2.5-inch overall length suitable for a range of hub and collar thicknesses
• Uncoated finish for standard indoor mechanical environments
• Diameter tolerance range of -0.0007 to +0.0013 inches for precise fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standard Size 0 taper pin for use in any application requiring a matching taper-reamed hole of the same size designation.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a properly sized taper pin reamer to prepare the hole before driving the pin. Always power down and de-energize the machine or assembly before beginning installation or removal. Drive the pin in with a pin punch and hammer; remove by driving from the small end. Follow applicable machinery safety standards and workplace lockout/tagout procedures during service.
