Value Collection MSC67549329X Taper Pin Size 1 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67549329X is a Size 1 steel taper pin used to secure components on shafts, hubs, and assemblies where precise, repeatable alignment is required. Manufactured from C-12L14 steel in an uncoated finish, this pin measures 0.12 inches at the small end and 0.172 inches at the large end, with an overall length of 2.5 inches. The tapered profile locks under load and resists loosening from vibration, making it a reliable fastening solution in mechanical assemblies across industrial, manufacturing, and maintenance applications. Diameter tolerances conform to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards, ensuring dimensional consistency across production and repair work.

This taper pin is suited for use in machine tools, gear assemblies, drive shafts, and general mechanical sub-assemblies where shaft-to-hub or component-to-component pinning is required. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians typically select Size 1 taper pins for light-duty to medium-duty fastening tasks. The C-12L14 steel grade provides good machinability and adequate shear strength for standard mechanical connections. This pin is sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically installed by machinists or millwrights using a reamed tapered hole sized to match the pin specification. Ensure the mating hole is reamed to the correct taper before driving the pin to avoid galling or deformation. De-energize and lock out all equipment per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures before installing or removing taper pins from live machinery. Use a proper pin punch and hammer or an arbor press for controlled installation and removal.
