Value Collection R57700429 Slotted Spring Pin 1 in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700429 is a slotted spring pin machined from 18-8 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in demanding service environments. At 1 inch in overall length with a 3/32-inch diameter, this pin uses a longitudinal slot to allow radial compression during installation, creating a tight, vibration-resistant fit in the mating hole. The slotted design provides consistent spring tension that holds the pin securely without staking or secondary fastening. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install these pins as quick-assembly fasteners in shafts, linkages, clevis assemblies, and machine frames across industrial, HVAC, and mechanical-equipment applications.

This slotted spring pin is suited for light-duty to medium-duty fastening tasks where a removable, reusable pin is needed. Common applications include pivot points, hinge alignment, gear and sprocket retention on shafts, and assembly jigs. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture, mild chemicals, or temperature cycling where carbon steel pins would corrode. It is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it practical for production runs, maintenance kits, or shop stock replenishment.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and mildly chemical environments
• Slotted design compresses radially on insertion for a secure, vibration-resistant fit
• 1-inch overall length and 3/32-inch diameter suit light to medium fastening tasks
• Removable and reusable without damage to the host assembly when proper tooling is used
• Inch system of measurement for direct compatibility with standard inch-dimensioned hole patterns

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series slotted spring pin for use in any application requiring a 3/32-inch diameter hole and 1-inch pin engagement length. Confirm hole diameter and material hardness before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance mechanics using a pin punch and hammer or a hydraulic press with the appropriate diameter punch. Ensure the receiving hole is clean, properly sized, and free of burrs before driving the pin. Eye protection is required when driving spring pins manually. To remove, drive the pin out from one end using a punch of slightly smaller diameter than the pin bore.
