Value Collection MSC67700765X Taper Pin Size 0 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67700765X is a Size 0 taper pin manufactured from Grade 303 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish. It measures 1.25 inches in overall length with a small end diameter of 0.13 inches and a large end diameter of 0.156 inches. Taper pins are precision fasteners used to locate, align, or retain components on shafts and in assemblies. The passivated stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, chemical, or food-adjacent environments. This pin conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards, making it suitable for applications requiring dimensional consistency and traceable tolerances. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

Size 0 taper pins are commonly used in light-duty mechanical assemblies where precise alignment between mating components is required. Typical applications include shaft-to-hub connections, gear-to-shaft retention, and fixture alignment in machine tooling. The small form factor suits instrumentation, precision equipment, and light industrial machinery. The passivated stainless steel material is well suited for environments where carbon steel would corrode, including marine, pharmaceutical, and food-processing settings. This pin is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• Conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 for dimensional accuracy and interchangeability
• Grade 303 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Passivated finish enhances surface oxide layer for added protection
• Small end diameter of 0.13 inches, large end diameter of 0.156 inches
• Diameter tolerance range of -0.0007 to +0.0013 inches for precision fit
• 1.25 inches overall length suits compact shaft and hub assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 Size 0 taper pin for use in precision mechanical assemblies requiring a corrosion-resistant fastener at this diameter range.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically installed and removed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a hammer and pin punch or a taper pin reamer to prepare the mating hole. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before servicing any assembly containing taper pins. The mating hole must be reamed to the correct taper to ensure full contact along the pin length. Do not force an oversized pin into an under-reamed hole, as this can crack the hub or distort the shaft.
