Value Collection MSC67551846X Taper Pin Size 7 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67551846X is a size 7 steel taper pin used to secure components to shafts, hubs, and assemblies where precise, removable alignment is required. Manufactured from C-12L14 free-machining steel in an uncoated finish, this pin measures 0.3622 inches at the small end and 0.409 inches at the large end, with an overall length of 2.25 inches. The tapered profile creates a tight, self-locking fit when driven into a reamed hole. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install these pins in mechanical power transmission applications where repeated disassembly is anticipated.

This taper pin is suited for light-to-medium duty mechanical assemblies in both industrial and commercial settings. Typical applications include securing gears, levers, collars, and pulleys to shafts, as well as aligning mating parts in fixture and tooling work. The C-12L14 material grade offers good machinability and is compatible with standard taper pin reamers used to prepare the mating hole.

Key Features

• Size 7 taper pin conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standards
• C-12L14 free-machining steel for consistent finish and machinability
• Uncoated steel finish suitable for indoor and controlled-environment use
• Small end diameter of 0.3622 inches with a maximum diameter tolerance of 0.0013 inches
• 2.25-inch overall length and pin length for medium-depth shaft connections
• Self-locking taper profile eliminates need for additional fasteners in most assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock taper pin for mechanical assemblies requiring a size 7 taper pin per ANSI/ASME B18.8.2.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or millwright using a taper pin reamer to prepare the mating hole before driving the pin. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before installing or removing taper pins from rotating assemblies. Drive the pin from the small end using a pin punch and hammer, and verify seating by checking that the small end does not protrude excessively from the assembly. Removal is accomplished by driving the pin back out from the large end using a suitable punch.
