Value Collection R57700461 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700461 is a slotted spring pin designed for use in mechanical assemblies where a resilient, removable fastener is needed to secure components along a shaft or in a bore. Measuring 1-1/8 inches in length and 1/8 inch in diameter, this pin is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for demanding environments. The slotted design allows the pin to compress during installation and spring back to grip the bore wall, creating a reliable interference fit without permanent deformation of the host material. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly install these pins in equipment assemblies, linkages, and housings.

This slotted spring pin is suited for general industrial and mechanical maintenance applications where a compact, corrosion-resistant fastener is required. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for use in environments exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or temperature variation. It is commonly used in shafts, clevis assemblies, pivot points, and similar mechanical connections across a wide range of industrial, HVAC, and trade equipment. Each unit ships individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Slotted spring design compresses for installation and grips bore wall under spring tension
• 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments
• 1-1/8 inch overall length and 1/8 inch diameter for compact fastening applications
• Inch measurement system for straightforward sizing and replacement
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for standard commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension slotted spring pin for general mechanical assemblies requiring a 1/8 inch diameter, 1-1/8 inch long spring pin in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of slotted spring pins is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before servicing any mechanical assembly containing these pins. Avoid reusing spring pins that show signs of deformation or fatigue, as a compressed or cracked pin may not maintain proper bore engagement. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines for pin replacement intervals and bore tolerances.
