Value Collection MSC67703280X Taper Pin Size 9 6in Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67703280X is a Size 9 taper pin manufactured from 303 grade 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish. It measures 6 inches in overall length, with a small end diameter of 0.4662 inches and a large end diameter of 0.591 inches. The passivated surface treatment improves corrosion resistance, making this pin suitable for use in wet, humid, or chemically active environments. Taper pins are precision fasteners used to locate, align, or secure components on shafts and in assemblies. This pin conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards, confirming dimensional and tolerance compliance for industrial and mechanical applications.

This taper pin is used in mechanical assemblies where a reliable, removable connection between a shaft and hub or between two mating parts is required. Typical applications include machine tool fixtures, pump assemblies, conveyor components, and general industrial equipment where controlled alignment and repeatable positioning are critical. The stainless steel construction makes it well suited for food processing, marine, chemical, and other corrosion-sensitive environments. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly install this type of fastener during assembly or repair of rotating equipment.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically driven into a tapered, reamed hole using a hammer or pin driver and should be installed with the small end leading into the hole. Before installation, verify that the mating hole is properly reamed to the correct taper to ensure full contact along the pin length. Always de-energize and lock out rotating equipment before servicing any shaft or hub connection. Removal is performed from the small end using a pin punch; avoid cocking the pin during extraction to prevent hole damage.
