Value Collection R57700403 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700403 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 expand against the bore wall to create a secure, vibration-resistant fit. This pin measures 1.5 inches in length with a 5/64 inch diameter. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, chemical-exposed, or outdoor environments. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and assembly professionals use these pins to align or retain components in machinery, assemblies, and mechanical linkages.

Slotted spring pins of this size are used in light-duty mechanical assemblies where a removable, self-retaining fastener is needed without permanent deformation of the parent material. Typical applications include shaft-to-hub connections, hinge assemblies, linkage retention, and precision component alignment in industrial, commercial, and marine equipment. The 18-8 stainless steel grade makes this pin well suited for food-service equipment, marine hardware, and other corrosion-prone environments where carbon steel fasteners would degrade.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows radial compression for tool-driven installation into a drilled bore
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemical-exposed environments
• 1.5 inch length accommodates a range of through-bore and half-bore retention applications
• 5/64 inch diameter suits light-duty precision assemblies
• Reusable and removable with standard pin punches without damaging the host bore

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension slotted spring pin for use in any application requiring a 5/64 inch diameter, 1.5 inch length roll pin in inch-measurement systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a pin punch and hammer or a hydraulic press sized to the pin diameter. Ensure the receiving bore is drilled to the correct nominal diameter per standard slotted spring pin fit tolerances before driving. Always wear eye protection when driving spring pins. To remove, drive the pin through the bore with a punch of appropriate diameter or use a pin extractor tool.
