Value Collection MSC67703488X Size 10 Stainless Taper Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67703488X is a Size 10 taper pin machined from Grade 303 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish. It measures 6 inches overall length with a small end diameter of 0.5812 inches and a large end diameter of 0.706 inches. Taper pins are precision fasteners used to secure hubs, collars, and other components to shafts or through aligned holes, providing a reliable, self-locking fit under load. The passivated stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, chemical, or outdoor service environments. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install these pins in mechanical assemblies across industrial, HVAC, and trade equipment applications.

Size 10 taper pins are used in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where a removable, accurately located fastener is required. Common applications include shaft-to-hub connections, fixture alignment, and component positioning in rotating or structural assemblies. The ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standard governs dimensional and tolerance requirements for this pin, making it suitable for use in precision assemblies where interchangeability with standard-spec components is required.

Key Features

• Size 10 taper pin conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standards
• Grade 303 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh environments
• Passivated finish removes free iron and enhances surface corrosion protection
• Small end diameter of 0.5812 inches with minimum diameter tolerance of -0.0007 inches and maximum of 0.0013 inches
• 6-inch overall length suits medium-depth through-hole and shaft applications
• Self-locking taper geometry resists loosening under vibration and axial load

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-spec replacement or new-installation taper pin for mechanical assemblies requiring a Size 10 ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 taper pin in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically installed by machinists or millwrights using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. De-energize and lock out all equipment before disassembling rotating or load-bearing assemblies. Align the tapered hole precisely before driving the pin to avoid galling the stainless steel surface. Removal is performed by driving from the small end; never force a pin into a misaligned or undersized hole.
