Value Collection MSC67549725X Taper Pin Size 2 3 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67549725X is a Size 2 steel taper pin designed for precise shaft-to-hub and shaft-to-collar locking applications in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from C-12L14 steel in an uncoated finish, this pin measures 3 inches in overall length with a small end diameter of 0.1306 inches and a large end diameter of 0.193 inches. The tapered geometry creates a self-locking fit when driven into a reamed hole, resisting rotation and axial movement without additional fasteners. Machinists, millwrights, and mechanical assembly technicians install these pins as standard fastening components in gearboxes, pulleys, levers, and precision machine fixtures.

This taper pin is suited for use in both light-duty and medium-duty mechanical assemblies where removable, repeatable alignment is required. The C-12L14 free-machining steel construction provides good shear strength for typical torque transmission applications. It conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standards, making it a drop-in fit wherever a Size 2 standard taper pin is specified. Typical applications include shaft collars, hand wheels, valve stems, and light power transmission components in industrial and OEM equipment.

• Sold individually; minimum order quantity of 10 pieces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Size 2 taper pin replacement or new installation fastener conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2, compatible with any application specifying a Size 2 taper pin at 3 inches overall length.

Installation Notes

Taper pins require a properly reamed tapered hole sized to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 specifications before installation. Disassemble and secure the assembly so the pin hole is fully accessible before driving the pin. Use a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press to seat the pin fully; never force a pin into an unreamed or undersized hole. Removal is performed by driving the pin from the small end using a pin punch.
