Value Collection MSC67705160X Threaded Taper Pin Size 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67705160X is a Size 8 threaded taper pin machined from C-12L14 steel and left uncoated for a bare metal finish. The large end diameter measures 0.49 inches, and the pin body is 3 inches in length with a 7/16-20 threaded end for positive retention. Taper pins are precision fasteners used to secure hubs, collars, and mechanical components to shafts, preventing rotational or axial movement. This pin meets AN386 standards, making it suitable for demanding mechanical assemblies where dimensional accuracy and material consistency are required. Installation is typically performed by machinists and maintenance technicians working on industrial or mechanical equipment.

Size 8 threaded taper pins are commonly used in industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, and general mechanical assemblies where a removable but secure shaft-to-hub connection is needed. The threaded end allows a nut to be applied, holding the pin firmly in place and simplifying removal during maintenance without the need to drive the pin out by force. This makes the design well suited to assemblies that require periodic disassembly or component replacement.

Key Features

• Size 8 taper pin with 0.49 inch large end diameter for precise shaft and hub alignment
• C-12L14 steel construction provides good machinability and consistent dimensional tolerances
• 3 inch pin length accommodates standard Size 8 hub and collar applications
• 7/16-20 threaded end accepts a standard nut for positive retention and easier removal
• Uncoated bare steel finish suitable for use where additional coating is applied by the end user or is not required
• Meets AN386 standards for dimensional and material compliance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Size 8 threaded taper pin conforming to AN386 specifications, suitable for use in mechanical assemblies that require a 0.49 inch large end diameter taper pin with a 7/16-20 threaded end.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a reamed hole sized to match the pin taper. The hole must be properly reamed to the correct taper before driving the pin to ensure full contact along the pin length. Always de-energize and lock out machinery before servicing any shaft or hub connection. Apply the retaining nut to the threaded end and tighten to the assembly specification to prevent the pin from backing out during operation.
