Value Collection MSC67702407X Taper Pin Size 6 Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67702407X is a Size 6 taper pin machined from 303 stainless steel with a passivated finish. It features a small end diameter of 0.289 inches and a large end diameter of 0.341 inches, with an overall length of 2.5 inches. The tapered profile locks components together by friction when driven into a matching tapered hole, preventing rotation or axial movement. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install these pins to align and secure hubs, collars, gears, and similar machine components on shafts. The passivated surface improves corrosion resistance, making this pin well suited for wet or chemically exposed environments.

This taper pin is used in general industrial maintenance, light machinery assembly, and precision alignment applications where a removable, self-locking fastener is required. It is appropriate for both original equipment assembly and field repair work. The 303 stainless steel alloy offers good machinability alongside adequate corrosion resistance, making it a practical choice across food processing, marine, and general manufacturing environments where carbon steel pins would corrode.

Key Features

• Size 6 taper pin with 0.289 inch small end diameter and 0.341 inch large end diameter
• Overall length of 2.5 inches for standard shaft and hub applications
• 303 stainless steel, 18-8 alloy with passivated finish for corrosion resistance
• Diameter tolerance range of -0.0007 inches to +0.0013 inches for precise fit
• Meets ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standard

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 Size 6 taper pin for use in any application requiring a matching tapered hole and corresponding taper pin driver or reamer.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically installed by machinists or millwrights using a taper pin reamer to prepare a properly sized hole and a pin punch or hammer to drive the pin to final seating. De-energize and lock out all machinery before removing or installing taper pins. Do not force an oversized pin into an undersized hole, as this can split collars or damage bores. Removal is accomplished by driving the pin out from the small end using a suitable punch.
