Value Collection MSC67702761X Taper Pin Size 7 5in Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67702761X is a Size 7 stainless steel taper pin manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards. It features a small end diameter of 0.305 inches and a large end diameter of 0.409 inches, with an overall length of 5 inches. The pin is made from 18-8 Grade 303 stainless steel and receives a passivated finish to enhance corrosion resistance. Taper pins are precision fasteners used to secure hubs, collars, and other machine components to shafts, providing accurate and repeatable positioning. Licensed machinists, millwrights, and maintenance mechanics install these fasteners in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies.

This taper pin is suited for use in mechanical assemblies where a removable, self-locking fastener is required to maintain shaft-to-hub alignment. Typical applications include shaft collars, gear hubs, lever arms, and linkage assemblies found in industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, and general manufacturing environments. The passivated stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where moisture or mild chemical exposure is a concern. It conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 dimensional and tolerance standards, making it a direct fit wherever that standard is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation of taper pins is typically performed by machinists or maintenance mechanics using a taper pin reamer to prepare the mating hole and a hammer or pin driver to seat the pin. The assembly should be secured and any rotating shaft locked out and de-energized before installation or removal in accordance with applicable lockout/tagout procedures. Use a taper pin extractor or a punch from the small end to remove the pin without damaging the hub or shaft. Do not force an oversized pin into an undersized hole, as this can crack the hub or distort the shaft bore.
