Value Collection MSC67700609X Taper Pin Size 2/0 Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67700609X is a Size 2/0 taper pin machined from Grade 303, 18-8 passivated stainless steel. It measures 1 inch overall length with a small end diameter of 0.1202 inches and a large end diameter of 0.141 inches. The passivated finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for moderate industrial and mechanical environments. Taper pins are precision fasteners used to locate, align, or lock components on shafts and in assemblies, maintaining repeatable positioning under load. This pin conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standards, making it a direct fit for applications engineered to that specification.

Taper pins of this size are used across a wide range of mechanical assemblies including machine tool components, shaft-to-hub connections, gear assemblies, and precision fixtures. The Size 2/0 designation places this pin in the smaller end of the standard taper pin range, making it appropriate for light-duty alignment and locking applications in compact assemblies. The passivated stainless steel construction makes it suitable for applications where mild corrosion resistance is required alongside standard mechanical performance. Installation requires a matching tapered reamer and a pin driver or press. This SKU is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for mechanical assemblies engineered to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 Size 2/0 taper pin specifications.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tapered reamer matched to the pin size, followed by a pin driver or arbor press. The mating hole must be reamed to the correct taper before driving the pin to avoid galling or improper seating. Always verify the assembly is de-energized and secured before pin removal or installation. Removal is performed from the small end using a pin punch.
