Value Collection MSC67553248X Taper Pin Size 10 4 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67553248X is a Size 10 steel taper pin manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards and intended for use in mechanical assemblies requiring precise, removable shaft-to-hub or shaft-to-collar alignment. The pin measures 4 inches overall length with a small end diameter of 0.6228 inches and a large end diameter of 0.706 inches. Machined from C-12L14 free-machining steel in an uncoated finish, it delivers consistent dimensional accuracy within a minimum diameter tolerance of -0.0007 inches and a maximum diameter tolerance of 0.0013 inches. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance mechanics install this type of fastener in production and field environments alike.

Taper pins of this size are commonly used in industrial machinery, power transmission assemblies, agricultural equipment, and general fabrication applications where a self-locking, removable pin connection is required. The Size 10 designation follows ANSI/ASME B18.8.2, making this pin a direct fit for standard taper-reamed holes of the corresponding size. This pin is suited for applications where axial loads and shear forces must be reliably transferred between a shaft and a mating component without permanent fastening.

Key Features

• Size 10 taper pin conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standard
• C-12L14 free-machining steel construction for consistent machinability and dimensional stability
• 4 inches overall length with 0.6228 inches small end diameter and 0.706 inches large end diameter
• Controlled diameter tolerances: -0.0007 inches minimum, +0.0013 inches maximum
• Uncoated finish suitable for general industrial use or field modification
• Self-locking taper geometry allows removal and reinstallation without permanent deformation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 Size 10 taper pin replacement for use in any taper-reamed hole bored to the corresponding Size 10 specification.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are installed by machinists or millwrights using a taper pin reamer to prepare the mating hole, followed by driving the pin with a hammer and pin punch until seated. Always de-energize and lock out machinery before pin installation or removal in accordance with applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Use the correct Size 10 reamer to ensure proper fit; an undersized or oversized hole will compromise the self-locking engagement. Removal is accomplished by driving the small end through with a punch.
