Value Collection MSC67700161X Taper Pin Size 5/0 Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67700161X is a passivated stainless steel taper pin sized 5/0, designed for precise axial alignment and locking of components in mechanical assemblies. The pin measures 0.0784 inches at the small end and 0.094 inches at the large end, with an overall length of 0.75 inches. Manufactured from Grade 303, 18-8 stainless steel, the passivated finish enhances corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in environments where moisture or chemical exposure is a concern. This pin conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install taper pins to secure hubs, gears, and collars to shafts.

This taper pin is used in light-duty mechanical assemblies across industrial, commercial, and maintenance applications. The 5/0 size is well suited for small-diameter shaft-to-hub connections where controlled, repeatable alignment is required. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for food processing equipment, marine environments, and other corrosive-exposure scenarios where carbon steel alternatives would be inadequate. This item is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 taper pin replacement for mechanical assemblies requiring a Size 5/0 stainless steel taper pin with a 0.0784 inches small end diameter and 0.094 inches large end diameter.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a reamed tapered hole matched to the pin size. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before servicing any shaft or rotating assembly. Use a properly sized taper pin reamer to prepare the hole to the correct geometry before driving the pin. Drive the pin with a pin punch and hammer, seating it firmly without deforming the small end.
