Value Collection MSC67549642X Size 2 Steel Taper Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67549642X is a Size 2 taper pin machined from C-12L14 steel with no coating applied. Taper pins are precision fasteners used to locate, align, or lock components on shafts and in assemblies where a removable, self-locking connection is needed. This pin measures 2.25 inches in overall length with a small end diameter of 0.1462 inches and a large end diameter of 0.193 inches. The free-machining C-12L14 steel grade provides consistent dimensional accuracy and good machinability, making these pins a dependable choice for general industrial assembly work.

Size 2 taper pins are widely used in light-to-medium duty mechanical assemblies including machine components, shaft-to-hub connections, and fixture alignment. They are a standard hardware item for maintenance technicians, millwrights, and machinists working on production equipment, conveyor systems, pump assemblies, and similar machinery. The uncoated finish suits indoor applications in controlled environments where corrosion exposure is minimal. These pins are sold in multiples of 10 per order with a package quantity of 1.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically driven into a reamed tapered hole using a pin punch and hammer, or pressed into place with an arbor press. The mating hole must be reamed to the correct taper before installation to ensure proper seating and self-locking engagement. Always de-energize and lock out any machinery before installing or removing taper pins. Removal is accomplished by driving the pin out from the small end using a correctly sized punch.
