Value Collection R57700417 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700417 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. Spring pins use a slotted, hollow cylindrical body that compresses during insertion and exerts radial force against the hole wall, creating a secure, vibration-resistant fastening without threads. At 5/8 inch long and 3/32 inch in diameter, this pin is suited for light-duty alignment, retention, and assembly applications. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or mildly corrosive environments. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and assembly professionals install these pins using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press.

Slotted spring pins in this size range are commonly used in mechanical assemblies, fluid handling equipment, and light structural connections where a compact, self-retaining fastener is needed. They are appropriate for residential and commercial equipment repair, pump and valve assemblies, and general industrial maintenance tasks where a small-diameter retention pin is specified. This pin follows inch-system dimensioning standards.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows radial compression for interference-fit retention
• 18-8 stainless steel grade offers corrosion resistance in wet service environments
• 5/8 inch overall length suits compact fastening applications
• 3/32 inch diameter for use in small-bore precision holes
• Inch-system dimensioning for compatibility with standard imperial tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted spring pin for mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/32 inch diameter, 5/8 inch long inch-series retention pin in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians or millwrights using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before servicing any assembly containing spring pins. Ensure the receiving hole is clean, properly sized, and free of burrs before driving the pin to avoid deformation. Do not reuse a spring pin that has been removed, as repeated compression cycles reduce retention force.
