Value Collection MSC67549683X Taper Pin Size 2 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67549683X is a Size 2 uncoated steel taper pin designed for precision alignment and fastening applications in mechanical assemblies. Machined from C-12L14 steel, this pin measures 2.5 inches in overall length with a small end diameter of 0.141 inches and a large end diameter of 0.193 inches. The tapered profile allows the pin to seat firmly under load, resisting lateral movement without the need for additional fasteners. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians use taper pins to align hubs, collars, and machine components where repeatable positioning is required.

This taper pin is suited for general industrial and mechanical maintenance applications. It fits standard Size 2 taper pin holes drilled and reamed to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 specifications. Typical uses include shaft-to-hub alignment, gear and sprocket positioning, and fixture assembly in both light and heavy manufacturing environments. The uncoated finish is appropriate for dry or lightly oiled service conditions. This item is sold individually but must be ordered in multiples of 10.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service taper pin for Size 2 taper pin bores reamed to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 specifications in mechanical assemblies and machine components.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically installed and removed by machinists or millwrights using a pin punch, hammer, and a properly sized taper pin reamer. Always ream the receiving bore to the correct Size 2 taper before driving the pin to ensure full contact along the taper length. De-energize and lock out all machinery before servicing any assembly containing taper pins. Do not reuse a taper pin that shows deformation, cracking, or galling on the taper surface.
