Value Collection R57700477 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700477 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. This roll-type pin uses a longitudinal slot to create radial spring tension, allowing it to compress during installation and lock firmly into a drilled hole without additional fasteners. At 0.5 inches in overall length and 5/32 inch in diameter, it is sized for light-duty to medium-duty fastening and alignment applications. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making it suitable for environments where carbon steel fasteners would degrade. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals install these pins where a removable or semi-permanent retained-pin solution is required.

Slotted spring pins are used across a wide range of industrial and mechanical assembly applications including hinges, linkages, clevis assemblies, shaft collars, and light structural connections. This pin is appropriate for both bench-assembly work and field maintenance tasks in manufacturing, HVAC equipment assembly, and general mechanical trade work. Its inch-system sizing makes it compatible with standard fractional drill-press setups and reamer tooling commonly found in trade and production environments.

Key Features

• Slotted design provides radial spring tension for a secure press-fit installation
• 18-8 stainless steel offers corrosion resistance for demanding or wet environments
• 0.5 inch overall length suits compact assembly clearances
• 5/32 inch diameter matches standard fractional drill and reamer sizing
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard North American tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard fractional-inch slotted spring pin for use in any application requiring a 5/32 inch diameter drilled hole and 0.5 inch pin engagement depth. No specific OEM or system compatibility is stated by the manufacturer for this part number.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by machinists or mechanical maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. The receiving hole should be drilled and deburred to the appropriate diameter before installation to prevent galling or pin deformation. Always de-energize and lock out any equipment before servicing components that incorporate spring pins. Removal is performed with a punch sized slightly smaller than the pin diameter driven through the full bore.
