Value Collection R57700387 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700387 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and reliable radial tension in fastened assemblies. At 0.5 inches in length and 5/64 inch in diameter, this pin is designed to secure components by compressing into a drilled hole and exerting outward spring force against the bore wall. The slotted design allows the pin to flex during installation and return to its nominal diameter once seated. Typical applications include light-duty mechanical assemblies where vibration resistance and repositionability are required. Weight is approximately 0.01 pounds per unit.

Slotted spring pins in this size range are commonly used in general industrial, machine shop, and maintenance applications. They are appropriate for securing shafts, levers, collars, and linkage components in both residential and commercial mechanical systems. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes them suitable for environments with moderate moisture exposure where carbon steel pins would corrode. This SKU is sold as a single pin with a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• Slotted design compresses for installation and exerts radial spring force when seated
• 0.5 inch overall length fits standard shallow-bore applications
• 5/64 inch diameter for use in precision-drilled pilot holes
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard imperial tooling
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per pin

Compatibility

Designed as a standard imperial-size slotted spring pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/64 inch bore diameter and 0.5 inch pin depth.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Always drill or ream the receiving bore to the correct nominal diameter before installation to avoid overstressing the pin. De-energize and lock out all equipment before installing or removing spring pins in powered assemblies. Do not reuse pins that show visible deformation or cracking at the slot.
