Value Collection MSC67553289X Taper Pin Size 10 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67553289X is a Size 10 steel taper pin used to secure hubs, collars, gears, and other components to shafts in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from C-12L14 free-machining steel in an uncoated finish, it measures 4.5 inches in overall length with a small end diameter of 0.6124 inches and a large end diameter of 0.706 inches. The tapered profile creates a self-locking fit when driven into a reamed hole, providing reliable concentricity and easy disassembly during maintenance. Machinists, millwrights, and mechanical assembly technicians install these pins as standard fasteners in production and repair work.

This taper pin is suited for use in general industrial machinery, power transmission components, and precision mechanical assemblies where shaft-to-hub alignment is critical. The Size 10 designation follows ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standards, making it a drop-in fit for any application calling out a standard Size 10 taper pin. Typical installations include drive shafts, pulley hubs, gear collars, and fixture locating applications in both production and MRO environments.

Key Features

• Uncoated finish suitable for standard indoor mechanical environments
• Self-locking taper profile seats securely in a reamed tapered hole
• Conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standards
• 4.5 inches overall length with 4.5 inches of usable pin length
• Diameter tolerance of -0.0007 inches to +0.0013 inches for precise fitment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 Size 10 taper pin replacement for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.6124 inches small end diameter and 0.706 inches large end diameter tapered fastener.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are installed by machinists or millwrights using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press after the mating hole has been properly reamed to the corresponding taper. De-energize and lock out all machinery before installing or removing taper pins per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Drive the pin from the small end toward the large end of the reamed hole until seated firmly. Do not force an oversized pin into an undersized hole, as this can crack the hub or shaft.
