Value Collection MSC67549048X Taper Pin Size 0 3in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67549048X is a Size 0 uncoated steel taper pin manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards. With a small end diameter of 0.0936 inches and a large end diameter of 0.156 inches, this pin is designed to secure components on shafts, lock hubs to shafts, and align mating parts in mechanical assemblies. The 3-inch overall length suits a range of light-duty industrial and trade applications. Material is C-12L14 free-machining steel, which offers good machinability and consistent dimensional tolerances across the taper. Licensed mechanics, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install these in production equipment, drives, and positioning fixtures.

This taper pin is suited for use in shaft-to-hub connections, gear assemblies, and mechanical positioning applications where a reliable, removable locking method is required. The uniform taper allows the pin to self-lock under load while remaining removable for servicing. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units, making it practical to stock as a replacement consumable in maintenance environments.

Key Features

• ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 compliant — meets standard dimensional and tolerance requirements for taper pins
• C-12L14 free-machining steel construction for consistent machinability and tight tolerances
• Size 0 taper with 0.0936-inch small end and 0.156-inch large end diameters
• 3-inch overall length suits a broad range of shaft and hub configurations
• Uncoated finish — suitable for applications where post-installation machining or reaming is performed
• Minimum diameter tolerance of -0.0007 inches and maximum of 0.0013 inches for reliable fit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Size 0 taper pin replacement or new installation component for mechanical assemblies requiring ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 compliant taper pins.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically installed by millwrights or maintenance technicians using a taper pin reamer to prepare the mating hole prior to driving the pin. Always verify the hole is properly reamed to the correct taper before installation to ensure full seating and load distribution. Disengage and lock out all power to rotating equipment before installing or removing taper pins. Do not force an oversized pin into an under-reamed hole, as this can crack hubs or distort bores.
