Value Collection R57700385 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700385 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. Slotted spring pins, also called roll pins, are cylindrical fasteners with a longitudinal slot that allows the pin to compress during installation and exert outward spring pressure against the bore wall. This self-retaining action eliminates the need for additional locking hardware. At 7/16 inches in length and 5/64 inches in diameter, the R57700385 is suited for compact assemblies requiring a reliable, corrosion-resistant fastener. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly workers install these pins in precision mechanical and structural applications.

Slotted spring pins in 18-8 stainless steel are commonly used in light-duty mechanical assemblies, linkage connections, hinges, and retention applications where corrosion resistance is required. The small diameter and short length make this pin appropriate for close-tolerance bores in sheet metal assemblies, pump components, valve linkages, and similar equipment found in industrial, marine, and food-service environments. Sold individually, this pin is ordered in multiples of 100.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows radial compression for self-retaining fit in standard bore diameters
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and chemical-exposure environments
• 7/16 inch overall length for compact assembly applications
• 5/64 inch diameter sized for close-tolerance bore fitment
• Inch measurement system for straightforward integration with standard imperial fastener specifications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for use in imperial-dimensioned bores requiring a 5/64 inch diameter roll pin in assemblies where 18-8 stainless steel material grade is specified.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are installed by maintenance technicians and machinists using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press sized to the pin diameter. Always support the workpiece firmly to prevent bore damage during installation. Ensure the bore diameter matches the pin specification before pressing; undersized bores can crack the pin or damage the host component. Remove or de-energize any connected mechanisms before servicing assemblies that include spring pins.
