Value Collection R57700377 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700377 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. Slotted spring pins, also called slotted roll pins, are cylindrical fasteners with a lengthwise slot that allows the pin to compress during insertion and spring outward to grip the host material. This pin measures 3/16 inch in overall length and 5/64 inch in diameter. Its stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or outdoor environments. Technicians and assemblers use these pins to secure shafts, linkages, and mechanical assemblies where a removable yet firm retention solution is needed.

This slotted spring pin suits light-duty mechanical assemblies across industrial, commercial, and trade applications. Common uses include pinning control linkages, locking shafts to hubs, securing levers on valve stems, and retaining small components in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical equipment. The compact 3/16-inch length makes this pin appropriate for thin-section assemblies and tight-clearance installations where a standard solid pin would not provide the required retention flexibility.

Key Features

• Slotted design compresses on insertion for a secure interference fit
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemical environments
• 3/16 inch overall length suits thin-section and tight-clearance assemblies
• 5/64 inch diameter for small-bore shaft and linkage pinning applications
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard U.S. tooling and hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted spring pin for mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/64 inch diameter, 3/16 inch long retention fastener in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Always de-energize and depressurize any assembly before removing or installing retention pins. Drive the pin straight and square to the bore to avoid deforming the slot. Use the appropriate punch diameter to avoid damaging surrounding material or collapsing the pin prematurely.
