Value Collection R57700473 Slotted Spring Pin 2in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700473 is a slotted spring pin made from 18-8 stainless steel, sized at 2 inches long with a 1/8-inch diameter. Slotted spring pins, also called roll pins, are hollow cylindrical fasteners with a longitudinal slot that allows radial compression during installation. The pin springs back against the hole wall to create a secure, friction-based hold. This design absorbs shock and vibration loads without backing out. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and assembly technicians commonly install these pins in shafts, linkages, hinges, and mechanical assemblies across industrial and trade applications.

This pin is suited for use in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure, including HVAC equipment frames, plumbing fixture hardware, pump assemblies, and pool equipment linkages. It installs using a standard pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. The 1/8-inch diameter and 2-inch length fit a range of standard bored holes in metal, plastic, and composite components.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows radial compression for a secure interference fit
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• 2-inch overall length accommodates deeper shaft or linkage applications
• 1/8-inch diameter fits standard bored holes in common mechanical assemblies
• Inch measurement system for direct compatibility with standard tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted spring pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 1/8-inch diameter, 2-inch long roll 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. De-energize and lock out any equipment before servicing components that use these pins. Ensure the receiving hole diameter matches the pin diameter specification to achieve proper interference fit. Do not drive pins into undersized holes, as this can deform the pin or damage the host material.
