Value Collection R57700381 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700381 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. This pin measures 5/16 inches in overall length with a 5/64 inch diameter. Slotted spring pins, also known as roll pins, are hollow cylindrical fasteners with a longitudinal slot that allows the pin to compress during installation and exert radial pressure against the walls of the mating hole. This design creates a secure, vibration-resistant fit without adhesives or secondary locking features. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, chemical, or outdoor service environments. Maintenance technicians and assemblers across plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical trades commonly use these pins in shaft-to-hub connections, linkage assemblies, and equipment panels.

This slotted spring pin is suited for light-duty fastening applications in residential and commercial equipment. Typical uses include retaining components on shafts, aligning housings, and securing linkage arms in mechanical assemblies. The small 5/64 inch diameter and 5/16 inch length make this pin appropriate for compact mechanisms where space is limited. The stainless steel grade is well suited for environments with moisture exposure or mild chemical contact.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or chemical environments
• Slotted design allows radial compression for a secure press fit in the mating bore
• 5/16 inch overall length for compact assembly applications
• 5/64 inch diameter for use in small-diameter bored holes
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard tooling and gauges

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/64 inch diameter hole and 5/16 inch engagement depth.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance mechanics or assembly technicians using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Ensure the receiving hole diameter matches the nominal pin diameter to achieve proper radial compression and retention. Disconnect and de-energize any associated equipment before installing or removing drive pins in rotating assemblies. Follow applicable machinery safety standards and manufacturer assembly procedures when selecting pin length and fit.
