Value Collection MSC67700526X Size 3/0 Taper Pin Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67700526X is a Size 3/0 taper pin manufactured from 303 grade 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish. The pin measures 0.099 inches at the small end and 0.125 inches at the large end, with an overall length of 1.25 inches. Passivation enhances the corrosion resistance of the stainless steel surface, making this pin suitable for environments where moisture or chemical exposure is a concern. Taper pins are precision fasteners used to secure components on shafts or in assemblies where consistent, repeatable alignment and positive locking are required. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this hardware type.

This taper pin is suited for light mechanical assemblies requiring a reliable, removable shaft-to-hub or component alignment connection. The tapered geometry allows the pin to be driven to a consistent seating position, providing predictable clamping without additional fasteners. Typical applications include machine tool assemblies, pump and shaft connections, and precision instrument fixturing where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary compliance. This pin conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards, making it appropriate for engineered assemblies with defined tolerance requirements.

Compatibility

Designed as an ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standard Size 3/0 taper pin suitable for use in mechanical assemblies that specify this pin size and stainless steel material grade.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press to drive the pin into a reamed tapered hole. The mating hole must be reamed to the correct taper to achieve proper seating and load transfer. Always de-energize and lock out machinery before servicing any components secured by taper pins. Do not force an oversized pin into an undersized hole, as this can crack the hub or distort the shaft.
