Value Collection MSC67551002X Size 5 Taper Pin Uncoated Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67551002X is a Size 5 uncoated steel taper pin manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards. It features a small end diameter of 0.1954 inches and a large end diameter of 0.289 inches, with an overall length of 4.5 inches. The pin is made from C-12L14 grade steel, a free-machining alloy suited for precision fastening applications. Taper pins are used to secure hubs, collars, and mating components on shafts, providing a reliable, self-locking fit. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this type of fastener in industrial and mechanical assemblies.

This taper pin is suited for general industrial, manufacturing, and mechanical maintenance applications where a standard Size 5 taper pin is required. It is appropriate for use in light to medium-duty shaft-to-hub connections, positioning fixtures, and alignment applications. The uncoated finish makes it suitable for environments where additional coatings or treatments will be applied post-installation, or where bare steel is acceptable for the operating conditions.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 Size 5 taper pin replacement for industrial machinery, mechanical assemblies, and shaft-collar connections requiring this standardized taper pin size.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically driven into a reamed, tapered hole using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Ensure the mating hole is properly reamed to the correct taper before installation to achieve full engagement and proper holding force. Always de-energize and lock out machinery before servicing any shaft or rotating component. Removal is accomplished by driving the pin out from the small end using an appropriately sized punch.
