Value Collection MSC67701128X Taper Pin Size 2 Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67701128X is a Size 2 taper pin machined from 303 grade 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish. It measures 1 inch overall length with a small end diameter of 0.1722 inches and a large end diameter of 0.193 inches. The taper pin is manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards, making it a precision fastener used to secure hubs, collars, and levers to shafts in mechanical assemblies. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install these pins where reliable alignment and positive locking of mating components are required.

This taper pin is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies in industrial, HVAC, and general manufacturing applications. The passivated stainless steel construction resists corrosion, making it appropriate for installations exposed to moisture or mild chemical environments. The Size 2 taper is a common standard dimension used across a wide range of shaft-and-hub connections in rotating equipment and structural assemblies.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 Size 2 taper pin replacement for mechanical assemblies requiring stainless steel fasteners in shaft-to-hub or collar-locking applications.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tapered reamer to prepare a matching hole in the mating components, followed by driving the pin with a hammer and pin punch. Ensure the shaft assembly is fully depowered and stationary before disassembly or installation. The pin should seat fully with the small end flush or slightly recessed; never force an oversized pin into an unprepared hole. Removal is performed by driving the pin out from the small end using an appropriately sized drift punch.
