Value Collection MSC67701367X Taper Pin Size 3 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67701367X is a Size 3 taper pin machined from Grade 303 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish. It measures 0.75 inches overall length with a small end diameter of 0.2034 inches and a large end diameter of 0.219 inches. Taper pins are used to secure hubs, collars, and mechanical assemblies to shafts, providing precise alignment and positive locking through the wedging action of the tapered shank. The passivated stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments. Manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standards, this pin suits maintenance technicians, machinists, and mechanical contractors working on precision assemblies.

This taper pin is suited for light-duty mechanical assembly applications in industrial, commercial, and maintenance environments. Its stainless steel alloy and passivated surface make it a reliable choice where corrosion resistance is required, such as food processing equipment, marine hardware, pump assemblies, and general machine component assembly. The standardized Size 3 designation ensures dimensional interchangeability with other ANSI/ASME B18.8.2-compliant taper pins of the same size class.

Key Features

• Grade 303 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Passivated finish enhances surface oxide layer for added protection against rust and chemical exposure
• Conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 for dimensional accuracy and interchangeability
• Small end diameter of 0.2034 inches and large end diameter of 0.219 inches
• 0.75 inches overall length suitable for compact shaft and hub assemblies
• Minimum diameter tolerance of -0.0007 inches and maximum of 0.0013 inches for precise fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for mechanical assemblies requiring a Size 3 taper pin per ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 specifications.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tapered reamer to prepare the mating hole and a pin punch or press to drive the pin into position. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before servicing any mechanical assembly. Do not force an oversized pin into an undersized hole, as this can damage the bore or fracture the pin. Removal is accomplished by driving the pin out from the small end using a suitable punch.
