Value Collection MSC67700807X Taper Pin Size 0 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67700807X is a Size 0 taper pin manufactured from 303 grade 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish. The pin measures 1.5 inches overall length with a small end diameter of 0.1248 inches and a large end diameter of 0.156 inches. The passivated finish improves corrosion resistance by removing free iron from the surface layer without altering dimensional tolerances. This type of taper pin is a standard fastening component used by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians to secure hubs, collars, and levers to shafts in mechanical assemblies.

Taper pins of this size are used in light-duty mechanical assemblies where a removable, self-locking connection is needed between a shaft and a mating component. The self-locking taper geometry holds under vibration and allows disassembly with a drift punch when service is required. Typical applications include gearbox assemblies, pump shafts, conveyor components, and machine tool fixtures where corrosion resistance is a factor. This pin conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards, making it a direct fit for any application calling out a standard Size 0 taper pin in that specification.

Key Features

• 303 grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or chemical environments
• Passivated finish removes surface iron contamination and extends service life
• Self-locking taper geometry seats firmly under vibration without additional fasteners
• Conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 dimensional and tolerance standards
• Diameter tolerance range of -0.0007 inches to +0.0013 inches for precise fitment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 Size 0 taper pin replacement suitable for any mechanical assembly specifying a Size 0 taper pin in 303 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a reamed hole sized to the taper pin specification. The mating hole must be reamed with a matching taper reamer before driving the pin to ensure full contact along the pin length. Drive the pin with a hammer and suitable drift; never force an oversized pin into an undersized hole. To remove, drive the pin out from the small end using a pin punch.
