Value Collection 35001 Slotted Spring Pin 1/4 in Alloy Steel 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 35001 is a slotted spring pin made from 1070/1090 alloy steel with a black oxide finish. Slotted spring pins are cylindrical fasteners with a longitudinal slot that allows radial compression during installation, enabling a secure press fit in drilled holes. The pin measures 1/4 inch in overall length and 1/16 inch in diameter. The black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces surface reflectivity. These pins are sold in a package quantity of 100 and are suited for high-volume assembly and maintenance applications where consistent fastener performance is required.

Slotted spring pins are used in mechanical assemblies across industrial, agricultural, and general manufacturing environments. Common applications include securing shafts, gears, levers, and linkages in drilled holes where a removable or semi-permanent connection is needed. The 1070/1090 alloy steel construction provides adequate hardness and shear strength for light to medium duty mechanical connections. These pins are measured in the inch system and do not meet military specifications, making them appropriate for standard commercial and industrial use rather than mil-spec procurement.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows radial compression for secure press-fit installation in drilled holes
• 1070/1090 alloy steel construction provides hardness suitable for light to medium duty fastening
• Black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and low surface reflectivity
• 1/4 inch overall length and 1/16 inch diameter for compact fastening applications
• Package quantity of 100 supports production, assembly line, and bulk maintenance use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard commercial-grade slotted spring pin for general mechanical assemblies requiring a 1/16 inch diameter press-fit fastener in inch-dimensioned components.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. The receiving hole diameter should match the nominal pin diameter to achieve proper interference fit. Always ensure the assembly is de-energized and secured before driving or removing pins. Do not reuse spring pins that have been excessively compressed or deformed, as this reduces retention force.
