Value Collection MSC67706960X Threaded Taper Pin Size 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67706960X is a Size 8 threaded taper pin manufactured from 303 grade 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish. The pin measures 5 inches in length with a large end diameter of 0.49 inches and a neck diameter of 0.368 inches. A 7/16-20 threaded end allows for positive extraction using a standard nut, making removal straightforward in assemblies where the pin must be serviced or replaced periodically. The passivated finish enhances corrosion resistance, making this pin suitable for wet, chemical-exposed, or outdoor environments. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians specify this pin where a precise, removable alignment or locking solution is required in mechanical assemblies.

Threaded taper pins are used across a range of industrial, mechanical, and trade applications to align or lock mating components such as hubs, collars, gears, and flanges onto shafts. The Size 8 designation and 5-inch length suit medium-load assemblies in both light manufacturing and heavy maintenance environments. The threaded end is particularly valuable in blind-hole or tight-clearance installations where driving the pin back out from the small end is not practical. This pin conforms to AN386 standards, ensuring dimensional consistency expected in precision assembly work.

Key Features

• Conforms to AN386 standard for dimensional accuracy and interchangeability
• 303 grade 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemical environments
• Passivated finish provides additional surface corrosion protection
• 7/16-20 threaded end enables controlled extraction with a standard nut
• Maximum diameter tolerance of 0.0013 inches supports precision-fit applications
• 5-inch pin length accommodates medium-depth alignment and locking applications

Compatibility

Designed as an AN386-standard Size 8 threaded taper pin suitable for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a removable precision taper pin with a 7/16-20 threaded extraction end.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or millwrights using a taper pin reamer to prepare the mating hole to the correct taper before driving or pressing the pin into place. Ensure all rotating equipment and machinery is fully de-energized and locked out before servicing any pinned assembly. The threaded end accepts a standard nut for extraction — do not use a punch or hammer on the threaded end, as this can damage the threads and complicate removal. Follow applicable facility maintenance and safety procedures throughout the installation and removal process.
