Value Collection MSC67701086X Taper Pin Size 2 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67701086X is a Size 2 taper pin machined from 303 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish. It measures 0.75 inches overall length with a small end diameter of 0.1774 inches and a large end diameter of 0.193 inches. The passivated surface treatment improves corrosion resistance by removing free iron from the metal surface without altering dimensional tolerances. This pin is used by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians to align and secure components on shafts, hubs, and assemblies where a removable, self-locking fastener is required. It conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards.

Taper pins of this size are commonly used in light-duty mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and tooling applications across manufacturing, HVAC equipment manufacturing, and general industrial maintenance. The Size 2 designation indicates a standardized taper of 1 inch per foot, making it interchangeable with other ANSI/ASME B18.8.2-compliant Size 2 taper pins. This part is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 10 units, making it suitable for stocking in maintenance cribs or tool rooms where repeat use is expected.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are installed by a machinist or maintenance technician using a properly sized taper reamer to prepare the hole before driving the pin. Power down and de-energize any equipment before servicing components that contain taper pins. Drive the pin using a pin punch and hammer, ensuring the taper is fully seated. Do not force an undersized pin into an unreamed hole, as this can damage the bore or the pin.
