Value Collection R57700383 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700383 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, designed to provide reliable retention and alignment in mechanical assemblies. The slotted design allows the pin to compress during installation and expand to grip the bore walls, creating a secure, vibration-resistant fit without adhesives or locking compounds. At 3/8 inches in overall length and 5/64 inches in diameter, this pin is suited for light-duty fastening applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals install these pins in equipment that sees moisture or chemical exposure.

Slotted spring pins of this type are commonly used in residential and commercial equipment assemblies, jigs and fixtures, shafts, hinges, and mechanical linkages where a removable yet secure fastener is required. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes this pin appropriate for environments subject to humidity, mild chemicals, or outdoor exposure. The inch measurement system and fractional sizing make it compatible with standard tooling used across industrial and trade maintenance applications.

Key Features

• Slotted spring design compresses for installation and expands to grip bore walls without additional fasteners
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments
• 3/8 inch overall length suits compact mechanical assemblies and tight clearance applications
• 5/64 inch diameter fits standard fractional drill and reamer sizes
• Does not meet military specifications — appropriate for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted spring pin for commercial and industrial mechanical assemblies requiring a fractional-inch, corrosion-resistant retention fastener.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin driver or arbor press — never a standard hammer face, which can damage the slot geometry. Ensure the bore diameter matches the pin's nominal diameter to allow proper compression and retention. Remove load from the assembly and secure workpieces before driving the pin. Follow applicable machinery safety lockout/tagout procedures before servicing any equipment containing these fasteners.
