Value Collection MSC67551440X Taper Pin Size 6 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67551440X is a Size 6 uncoated steel taper pin manufactured from C-12L14 free-machining steel. It features a small end diameter of 0.2682 inches and a large end diameter of 0.341 inches, with an overall length of 3.5 inches. The tapered body creates a tight, self-locking fit when driven into a reamed hole, making it a reliable method for securing hubs, collars, and gears to shafts in mechanical assemblies. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and industrial mechanics commonly install these pins in both light and heavy-duty applications. This pin conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards.

This taper pin is suited for use in mechanical and industrial applications where repeatable, removable shaft-to-component alignment is required. Typical install scenarios include machine tool assemblies, conveyor components, pump shafts, and general-purpose power transmission equipment. The C-12L14 steel grade offers good machinability and is appropriate for moderate-load, non-corrosive environments. This pin is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• Size 6 taper pin with 0.2682-inch small end diameter and 0.341-inch large end diameter
• Overall length of 3.5 inches for use in medium-depth shaft and hub assemblies
• C-12L14 free-machining steel construction for consistent dimensional accuracy
• Uncoated finish suitable for standard indoor mechanical environments
• Conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 for dimensional and tolerance compliance
• Diameter tolerance range of -0.0007 to +0.0013 inches for precise fit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI/ASME B18.8.2-compliant Size 6 taper pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a tapered hole reamed to match the pin geometry.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are installed by machinists or maintenance mechanics using a taper pin reamer to prepare a matching tapered hole before driving the pin. Always disengage and lock out power to any rotating equipment before installation or removal. Pins should be driven firmly with a hammer and pin punch until fully seated; removal is accomplished by driving from the small end. Do not force an oversize pin into an underreamed hole, as this can split the hub or damage the shaft.
