Value Collection MSC67701524X Taper Pin Size 3 2in Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67701524X is a Size 3 taper pin machined from 303 stainless steel with a passivated finish. It measures 2 inches in overall length with a small end diameter of 0.1774 inches and a large end diameter of 0.219 inches. The passivation treatment improves corrosion resistance by removing free iron from the surface while retaining the base alloy properties of 18-8 stainless steel. Diameter tolerances are held to -0.0007 inches minimum and +0.0013 inches maximum, consistent with ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards. This pin is installed by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians in mechanical assemblies requiring precise shaft-to-hub or shaft-to-collar alignment.

This taper pin is suited for use in light-to-medium duty mechanical assemblies across industrial, HVAC, and equipment maintenance applications. The self-locking taper geometry allows the pin to seat securely in a reamed tapered hole without a fastener, making it a reliable choice for positioning and locking rotating or sliding components on shafts. It is appropriate for environments where mild corrosion resistance is required, including equipment subject to moisture or moderate chemical exposure.

Key Features

• Size 3 taper profile with 0.1774 inch small end diameter and 0.219 inch large end diameter
• 2 inch overall length for standard shaft and hub fastening applications
• 303 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and machinability
• Passivated finish enhances surface corrosion resistance without dimensional change
• Manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 dimensional and tolerance standards
• Diameter tolerance range of -0.0007 to +0.0013 inches for consistent fit

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly reamed tapered hole sized to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 specifications for a Size 3 taper pin. De-energize and lock out all equipment before disassembling or reassembling shaft components. Use a pin driver or drift punch to seat and remove taper pins; avoid hammer blows that are off-axis, which can damage the pin or reamed bore. Consult applicable machinery safety standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines before service.
