Value Collection MSC67549568X Taper Pin Size 2 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67549568X is a Size 2 uncoated steel taper pin manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards from C-12L14 free-machining steel. This pin features a small end diameter of 0.1566 inches and a large end diameter of 0.193 inches, with an overall length of 1.75 inches. Taper pins are precision fastening components used to lock hubs, collars, and mechanical assemblies onto shafts, providing reliable alignment and torque transfer. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and industrial assemblers install these pins in production and repair applications where a removable, self-locking connection is required.

This Size 2 taper pin is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies in manufacturing, maintenance, and repair environments. Typical applications include securing handwheels, gears, levers, and collars to shafts in machinery where precise alignment is critical. The uncoated finish makes it appropriate for standard indoor mechanical environments. The C-12L14 material grade offers good machinability and consistent dimensional accuracy across high-volume production runs where pin hole reaming and press fit are part of the assembly process.

Compatibility

Designed as an ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standard Size 2 taper pin, compatible with any taper-reamed hole prepared to the corresponding Size 2 taper pin specification in mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are installed by machinists or mechanical technicians using a taper pin reamer to prepare the mating hole before driving the pin. Always de-energize and lock out machinery before disassembling shaft components. The pin should be driven in from the small end using a pin punch and hammer until seated firmly. Removal is performed by tapping out from the large end using a suitable punch.
