Value Collection MSC67553321X Taper Pin Size 10 5 Inch Steel

Product Description

The Value Collection MSC67553321X is a Size 10 uncoated steel taper pin manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards. It features a small end diameter of 0.602 inches and a large end diameter of 0.706 inches, with an overall length of 5 inches. Made from C-12L14 steel, this pin provides consistent dimensional accuracy within a tight tolerance range of -0.0007 to +0.0013 inches on diameter. Taper pins are used across mechanical assembly work to secure hubs, collars, and similar components to shafts. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and industrial assemblers install these pins in production and repair applications where a reliable, removable shaft-to-component connection is required.

This taper pin suits general-purpose mechanical assembly and maintenance in both industrial and commercial settings. It is appropriate for use in machine tools, conveyor systems, pump assemblies, and similar equipment where a standard ANSI Size 10 taper pin is called for. The uncoated finish makes it suitable for applications where post-installation plating, painting, or coating may be applied, or where a bare steel surface is acceptable for the service environment.

Key Features

• ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standard compliance ensures dimensional interchangeability with other Size 10 taper pins
• C-12L14 steel construction offers good machinability and consistent mechanical properties
• Small end diameter of 0.602 inches and large end diameter of 0.706 inches for a standard Size 10 taper
• Overall length of 5 inches accommodates a range of hub and collar thicknesses
• Tight diameter tolerance of -0.0007 to +0.0013 inches supports accurate press-fit installation
• Uncoated finish compatible with post-process surface treatments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 Size 10 taper pin replacement or new-installation component for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.602-inch small end diameter and 0.706-inch large end diameter pin at 5 inches overall length.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically installed and removed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Before installation, ensure the tapered hole is reamed to the correct ANSI Size 10 taper specification and that the mating shaft and hub are secured and de-energized. Drive the pin in from the small end until it is firmly seated; never force an oversized pin into an under-reamed hole. Follow applicable machinery safety lockout/tagout procedures before working on any rotating or power-driven equipment.
