Value Collection MSC67701409X Taper Pin Size 3 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67701409X is a Size 3 taper pin machined from Grade 303 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish. It measures 1 inch overall length, with a small end diameter of 0.1982 inches and a large end diameter of 0.219 inches. Diameter tolerances are held to -0.0007 inches minimum and +0.0013 inches maximum. This pin is manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards, making it a reliable fastening component for precision mechanical assemblies. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers install taper pins to secure hubs, collars, and other components to shafts.

Taper pins of this type are used in a wide range of light-duty to medium-duty mechanical applications where a removable, self-locking pin connection is needed. Common install scenarios include shaft-to-hub alignment in gearboxes, linkage assemblies, and general industrial machinery. The passivated stainless steel construction makes this pin suitable for environments where corrosion resistance is a factor, including food processing equipment, marine hardware, and wet industrial settings. This pin is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 Size 3 taper pin replacement suitable for mechanical assemblies requiring a 1 inch, passivated stainless steel taper pin connection.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically installed and removed by machinists or mechanical technicians using a pin punch, hammer, and appropriately sized taper reamer. Ensure the mating hole is reamed to the correct taper before driving the pin. Always de-energize or lock out the equipment before servicing any shaft or hub connection. Do not force an oversized pin into an undersized bore, as this can cause bore damage or component fracture.
