Value Collection MSC67553362X Taper Pin Size 10 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67553362X is a Size 10 steel taper pin used to secure components on shafts, hubs, and assemblies where precise alignment and load transfer are required. Machined from C-12L14 free-machining steel and left uncoated, this pin measures 0.5916 inches at the small end and 0.706 inches at the large end, with an overall length of 5.5 inches. The tapered profile creates a self-locking fit when driven into a reamed hole, resisting axial and rotational movement without additional fasteners. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install these pins across general industrial, agricultural, and mechanical assembly applications.

Taper pins of this size are used in light to medium-duty shaft-to-hub connections, gear assemblies, lever mounts, and similar power-transmission setups. The Size 10 designation and ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standard ensure dimensional interchangeability with conforming reamers and mating hardware. This pin is suited for shop fabrication, field repair, and OEM assembly work where a standardized, removable locating fastener is needed.

Key Features

• Size 10 taper pin per ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 for dimensional interchangeability
• C-12L14 free-machining steel construction for consistent finish and machinability
• Small end diameter: 0.5916 inches with tolerance of -0.0007 inches to +0.0013 inches
• Large end diameter: 0.706 inches
• Overall length of 5.5 inches suits deeper hub or shaft engagements
• Uncoated finish — suitable for dry or lubricated installations where coating buildup is undesirable

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 Size 10 taper pin, compatible with any conforming taper-reamed hole of matching size in shaft-to-hub or component-alignment applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a Size 10 taper reamer to prepare the mating hole to the correct taper before driving the pin. Power down and de-energize any machinery before disassembly or installation. Drive the pin with a hammer and pin punch; use a pin extractor or punch from the small end to remove. Do not force an oversized pin into an unreamed hole, as this will damage the bore and compromise the fit.
