Value Collection MSC67702001X Size 5 Stainless Taper Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67702001X is a Size 5 taper pin manufactured from 303 grade 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish. The pin measures 1.25 inches in overall length with a small end diameter of 0.263 inches and a large end diameter of 0.289 inches. The tapered body creates a self-locking fit when driven into a matching reamed hole, making it a reliable fastening solution for locating or securing components on shafts, linkages, and mechanical assemblies. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install these pins in industrial and commercial equipment where corrosion resistance and dimensional precision are required.

This taper pin is suited for use in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where repeatable disassembly and reassembly is needed without loss of alignment. The passivated stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for applications in food processing, marine, chemical, or other corrosive environments. It conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards, ensuring dimensional interchangeability with other compliant taper pin hardware.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press after reaming the mating hole to the correct taper. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before installing or removing pins from rotating shafts or assemblies. Removal is accomplished by driving the pin out from the small end using an appropriately sized pin punch. Do not force an oversized pin into an undersized hole, as this can crack the hub or distort the bore.
