It features a small end diameter of 0.3776 inches and a large end diameter of 0.492 inches, with an overall length of 5.5 inches. The pin is made from C-12L14 grade steel, a free-machining alloy well suited to precision mechanical assemblies. Taper pins are used to secure hubs, collars, and other components to shafts, providing a reliable, self-locking connection that resists rotation and axial movement. Installation and removal is straightforward with standard pin drivers or reamers, making these pins a practical choice for maintenance and production work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis taper pin is intended for use in mechanical assemblies where a removable, precision fit fastener is required. Typical applications include securing gears, pulleys, and collars to shafts in light to medium industrial equipment, machine tools, and power transmission assemblies. The Size 8 designation follows ANSI\/ASME B18.8.2 sizing conventions, ensuring compatibility with standard taper-reamed holes of the corresponding size. The uncoated finish is appropriate for dry or lightly lubricated indoor environments where corrosion resistance is not a primary concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eANSI\/ASME B18.8.2 standard compliance ensures dimensional consistency with taper-reamed tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eC-12L14 free-machining steel grade provides good strength and machinability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaper design creates a self-locking fit that resists axial and rotational movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5.5-inch overall length suits deeper hubs and longer shaft engagement applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated finish allows direct inspection and easy dimensional verification before installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance range of -0.0007 inches to +0.0013 inches for controlled fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard Size 8 taper-reamed holes conforming to ANSI\/ASME B18.8.2.

The receiving hole must be reamed to the correct taper before installation to achieve proper seating and locking action. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before installing or removing taper pins from rotating assemblies. Do not force a taper pin into an improperly prepared hole, as this can damage the pin, the bore, or both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaper Pin Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall End Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3776 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge End Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.492 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C-12L14\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0007 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0013 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\/ASME B18.8.2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taper Pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MSC67552646X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690688741682,"sku":"MSC67552646X","price":20.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/231dcb0679c4d9de5ebcdc982f87df2c.jpg?v=1788273981","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-msc67552646x-taper-pin-size-8-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
