Value Collection R57700491 Slotted Spring Pin 1 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700491 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel and designed for use in fastening and alignment applications across mechanical and industrial assemblies. The slotted design allows the pin to compress during installation and expand against the bore wall, creating a secure, vibration-resistant fit without the need for adhesives or additional fasteners. At 1 inch in overall length and 5/32 inch in diameter, this pin suits compact assemblies where precise positional retention is required. Weighing approximately 0.03 pounds, it is a lightweight component suitable for high-volume applications in corrosive or washdown environments where stainless steel is preferred.

This pin is commonly used in machinery, jigs, fixtures, hinges, and light structural assemblies where repeatable disassembly is needed. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides good corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for food-service equipment, marine hardware, and outdoor mechanical components. It is sold individually per unit, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it suited for production and maintenance operations requiring bulk fastener stock.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for use in general mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/32 inch diameter bore and 1 inch pin depth in inch-measurement systems.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Ensure the receiving bore is clean and sized correctly before driving the pin to avoid bore damage or pin deformation. Always wear appropriate eye protection when driving pins. Remove the pin using a pin punch driven from the appropriate end; do not use the pin in applications that exceed the shear or load ratings of the 18-8 stainless steel grade.
