Value Collection MSC67700922X Taper Pin Size 1 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67700922X is a Size 1 taper pin machined from Grade 303 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish. It measures 0.146 inches at the small end diameter and 0.172 inches at the large end diameter, with an overall length of 1.25 inches. The passivated surface treatment improves corrosion resistance by removing free iron from the steel surface without altering the base material dimensions. Taper pins are used to secure hubs, collars, and mechanical assemblies on shafts, providing a reliable, self-locking connection that resists loosening under vibration and cyclic loading. Installation and removal are straightforward using standard pin punches and hammers.

This taper pin is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies in industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical equipment manufacturing or maintenance contexts. It is appropriate wherever a corrosion-resistant, self-locking pin is required to positively locate or retain a component on a shaft or in a bored hole. The stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice in wet or humid environments where carbon steel pins would corrode. Minimum order quantity is 10 pieces; each package contains 1 pin.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Size 1 taper pin conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2, suitable for use in any mechanical assembly specifying a Size 1 taper pin in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are installed by a machinist or maintenance technician using a properly sized tapered reamer to prepare the hole, then driving the pin with a hammer and pin punch. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before pin installation or removal. Do not force an oversized pin into an undersized hole, as this can crack the hub or bore. Removal is accomplished by driving the pin from the large end with a pin punch.
