Value Collection R57700413 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700413 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel for reliable performance in corrosive and high-cycle applications. At 0.5 inches in length and 3/32 inches in diameter, this pin uses a longitudinal slot to allow radial compression during installation, creating a secure interference fit within a drilled hole. The spring action allows the pin to absorb shock and vibration, making it suitable for assemblies that experience dynamic loads. Installation requires no special adhesives or locking hardware. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals working in industrial, marine, and food-processing environments commonly specify this fastener.

This slotted spring pin is appropriate for use in light-duty to moderate-duty mechanical assemblies where a removable, reusable pin retention method is needed. The 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and mild chemical exposure, making it a preferred choice in wet or washdown environments. Typical applications include shaft-to-hub connections, linkage assemblies, and bracket retention in equipment where carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and washdown environments
• Slotted design allows radial compression for a secure interference fit
• Spring action absorbs shock and vibration in dynamic assemblies
• Inch measurement system with 0.5 inch overall length and 3/32 inch diameter
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for use in any drilled hole sized to accept a 3/32 inch diameter interference-fit pin in commercial and industrial mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a pin punch and hammer or a hydraulic press sized appropriately for the pin diameter. The receiving hole should be drilled and reamed to the correct tolerance for an interference fit before driving the pin. De-energize and lock out all machinery before servicing any pinned assembly. Removal is accomplished by driving the pin out from the accessible end with a punch slightly smaller than the pin diameter.
