Value Collection R57700437 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700437 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. Slotted spring pins, also called roll pins, are hollow cylindrical fasteners with a longitudinal slot that allows the pin to compress on insertion and exert radial force against the host bore, creating a secure, vibration-resistant fit without adhesives or secondary locking hardware. This pin measures 1-1/2 inches in length with a 3/32 inch diameter. It is commonly installed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals working on mechanical subassemblies, linkages, and drive components.

This slotted spring pin is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice for environments exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or outdoor conditions. Typical applications include pivot points, hinge assemblies, clevis connections, and positional retention of shafts or collars in both industrial and commercial equipment. The inch-measurement system designation confirms fitment in standard fractional-inch bore applications.

Key Features

• Slotted design compresses on insertion for a secure interference fit in the host bore
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion and oxidation resistance
• 1-1/2 inch overall length accommodates a range of through-hole and blind-hole assemblies
• 3/32 inch diameter suits light-duty fastening and positional retention applications
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard fractional-inch tooling and bore specs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/32 inch diameter slotted spring pin with a 1-1/2 inch length in inch-system bore applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed with a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press; never drive the pin with a flat-face hammer directly against the bore edge, as this can deform the chamfer. Ensure the bore diameter matches the nominal pin diameter for proper interference fit. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing assemblies that contain spring pins. Follow applicable facility maintenance procedures and equipment OEM guidelines during disassembly and reassembly.
