Value Collection R57700389 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700389 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. Slotted spring pins, also called roll pins, are hollow cylindrical fasteners with a lengthwise slot that allows the pin to compress during installation and exert radial force against the bore wall. This self-retaining action eliminates the need for additional locking hardware. At 9/16 inches in length with a 5/64 inch diameter, this pin is suited for light-duty fastening applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. Installation requires no special coatings or treatments thanks to the inherent corrosion resistance of 18-8 stainless steel.

This slotted spring pin is used in general mechanical assemblies, maintenance, and repair work across industrial, plumbing, and equipment service applications. It is commonly installed in hinge assemblies, linkage pins, gear retention, and shaft-to-hub connections where a removable yet secure fastener is needed. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for wet, humid, or mildly corrosive environments. Technicians in HVAC, plumbing, and light industrial trades will encounter this pin in equipment panels, valve linkages, and actuator assemblies.

Key Features

• Slotted design provides radial spring force for self-retaining fit in the bore
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and humid environments
• 9/16 inch overall length suits compact mechanical assemblies
• 5/64 inch diameter for fine-pitch fastening applications
• Inch measurement system for straightforward sizing in standard tooling environments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted spring pin for use in standard inch-dimensioned bored holes requiring a 5/64 inch diameter roll pin.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are installed using a pin punch and hammer or a hydraulic press, depending on the assembly tolerance. Always ensure the bore diameter matches the compressed pin diameter before driving to avoid bore damage or pin deformation. Remove all load and power from the assembly before servicing any pinned connections. Consult applicable equipment service manuals for torque or press-fit guidance specific to the host assembly.
