Value Collection MSC67553081X Taper Pin Size 9 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67553081X is a Size 9 uncoated steel taper pin manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards. This solid C-12L14 steel pin features a small end diameter of 0.4766 inches and a large end diameter of 0.591 inches, with an overall length of 5.5 inches. Taper pins are used to secure hubs, collars, and similar components to shafts, creating a precise and removable mechanical connection. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and millwrights install these pins in production machinery, drive assemblies, and mechanical fixtures where repeatable alignment is critical.

This taper pin is suited for light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies in industrial, manufacturing, and maintenance environments. The standard taper geometry allows the pin to seat firmly under load while remaining removable with a drift punch during disassembly. The C-12L14 free-machining steel composition provides consistent dimensional accuracy across the pin's length, making it appropriate for precision-fit applications in both OEM production and field repair contexts.

Key Features

• Removable design allows disassembly without damaging mating components

Compatibility

Designed as an ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standard Size 9 taper pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a precision-fit, removable shaft-to-hub or collar connection.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a reamed taper hole sized to match the pin's taper. De-energize and lock out all equipment before installation or removal. Drive the pin firmly into the tapered hole using a hammer and drift; remove by driving from the small end with a drift punch. Always verify hole taper and diameter match the pin size before installation to ensure proper seating.
