Value Collection MSC67702803X Taper Pin Size 7 6 in Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67702803X is a Size 7 stainless steel taper pin manufactured to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards. It features a small end diameter of 0.2842 inches and a large end diameter of 0.409 inches, with an overall length of 6 inches. Constructed from 18-8 Grade 303 stainless steel with a passivated finish, this pin provides corrosion resistance and consistent dimensional accuracy. Taper pins are precision fasteners used to secure hubs, collars, and other components to shafts in a repeatable, self-locking manner. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and millwrights are the primary installers of this type of hardware.

This taper pin is suited for light-to-medium duty shaft-to-hub connections in machinery, equipment assemblies, and mechanical fixtures where corrosion resistance is a priority. The passivated stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or sanitary requirements such as food processing, marine, and industrial maintenance applications. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard Size 7 taper pin reamers and mating taper-reamed holes.

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard Size 7 taper-reamed bores conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2. Mates with Size 7 taper pin reamers for proper installation in shaft-to-collar and hub-locking applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or mechanical maintenance technicians. The mating bore must be reamed to the correct Size 7 taper before pin insertion. Drive the pin into the reamed hole using a pin punch and hammer until firmly seated; do not force oversized pins into undersized holes, as this can cause bore damage or pin failure. Deburr and clean the bore prior to installation to ensure full seating and proper retention.
