Value Collection MSC67703165X Taper Pin Size 9 Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67703165X is a Size 9 taper pin machined from 303 grade 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish for corrosion resistance. The pin measures 3.5 inches in overall length with a small end diameter of 0.5182 inches and a large end diameter of 0.591 inches. Diameter tolerances are held to -0.0007 inches minimum and +0.0013 inches maximum, meeting ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standards. This fastener is used to lock hubs, collars, levers, and similar components onto shafts in mechanical assemblies. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

Taper pins in this size range are suited for light-to-medium duty mechanical assemblies where a reliable, removable shaft-to-hub connection is needed. The self-locking taper geometry seats under load and holds without additional fasteners. The passivated 18-8 stainless steel construction makes this pin appropriate for food processing equipment, pumps, marine hardware, and other environments where mild corrosion resistance is a requirement. This is a single-piece unit sold in a quantity of one.

Key Features

• Size 9 taper pin conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standard
• 303 grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Passivated finish removes free iron and improves surface oxide layer
• Small end diameter of 0.5182 inches, large end diameter of 0.591 inches
• 3.5 inches overall length with controlled diameter tolerances
• Self-locking taper geometry eliminates need for additional retention hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 Size 9 taper pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a passivated stainless steel taper fastener of this diameter range and length.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are installed by a machinist or maintenance technician using a properly sized reamer to prepare a tapered hole before driving the pin. Power down and de-energize all associated equipment before disassembly or pin installation. Drive the pin with a pin punch and hammer; do not use impact tools that may deform the head or shank. Inspect the mating hole for wear or oversize condition before reuse of a taper pin.
