Value Collection R57700465 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700465 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. Slotted spring pins are cylindrical fasteners with a longitudinal slot that allows the pin to compress during installation and exert outward pressure against the host bore, creating a secure, vibration-resistant fit. This pin measures 1-3/8 inches in overall length and 1/8 inch in diameter. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, outdoor, and mildly chemical environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals install these pins in shafts, linkages, and mechanical assemblies where a removable or semi-permanent fastening solution is required.

Slotted spring pins are used across industrial, commercial, and light manufacturing applications. Common installation scenarios include securing gears, levers, or collars to shafts, aligning mating components in jigs and fixtures, and serving as shear elements in mechanical linkages. The 1/8 inch diameter and 1-3/8 inch length suit smaller assemblies and precision mechanisms. This pin is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it appropriate for production or maintenance stock purchasing.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion and oxidation resistance
• Slotted design compresses on insertion for a secure interference fit in the bore
• 1-3/8 inch overall length suits compact shaft and linkage assemblies
• 1/8 inch diameter for use in smaller-bore precision applications
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard imperial tooling and gauges

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for use in imperial-dimensioned bores requiring a 1/8 inch pin diameter. Verify bore tolerance and hole depth against the 1-3/8 inch pin length before installation.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by maintenance technicians and machinists using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Ensure the receiving bore is clean, properly sized, and free of burrs before driving the pin. Do not reuse a pin that has been fully driven and removed, as repeated cycling can fatigue the slot. Always de-energize or lock out any machinery before working on shaft or linkage assemblies.
