Value Collection MSC67702522X Taper Pin Size 7 Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67702522X is a Size 7 stainless steel taper pin designed for precision mechanical assemblies where reliable, repeatable shaft-to-hub alignment is required. Manufactured from Grade 303 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish, this pin resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments. The small end diameter measures 0.3778 inches and the large end diameter measures 0.409 inches, with an overall length of 1.5 inches. It conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standards. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install taper pins to lock components in precise angular or axial positions on rotating shafts.

This taper pin is suited for general industrial, HVAC mechanical drive, and pump assembly applications where a removable, self-locking pin connection is needed. The tapered geometry allows the pin to seat firmly under load and be driven out cleanly during servicing without damaging mating bores. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure, light chemical contact, or sanitary requirements such as food processing or water treatment equipment.

Key Features

• ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 compliant for consistent dimensional accuracy
• Grade 303 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and oxidation
• Passivated finish removes surface contaminants and enhances corrosion resistance
• Tapered geometry self-locks under load and releases cleanly during removal
• Size 7 taper with 0.3778-inch small end and 0.409-inch large end diameters
• 1.5-inch overall length suits compact shaft and hub assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 Size 7 taper pin replacement for mechanical assemblies requiring a passivated stainless steel pin with a 0.3778-inch small end diameter and 0.409-inch large end diameter.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a properly sized reamed taper bore and a pin driver or press. Always de-energize and lock out rotating equipment before pin installation or removal per applicable LOTO procedures. Verify the mating bore taper matches ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 Size 7 specifications before driving the pin. Do not force a mismatched pin size, as this can damage the bore or distort the pin.
