Value Collection R57700495 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700495 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, designed for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a resilient, removable fastener. The slotted design allows the pin to compress during installation and expand within the hole, creating a secure interference fit without the need for additional fasteners. At 1-1/4 inches in length and 5/32 inch in diameter, this pin suits compact assemblies where precise alignment or positive retention is required. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians install these pins in machinery, fixtures, jigs, and structural components across a range of light and heavy industries.

Slotted spring pins are commonly used in mechanical power transmission assemblies, industrial equipment, and tool fabrication. They serve as alignment dowels, hinge pins, and locking elements in sheet metal, machined housings, and fabricated steel components. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes this pin suitable for environments with moderate moisture exposure or where mild corrosion resistance is needed. This pin is sold in packages of 1, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it appropriate for production or high-volume maintenance applications.

Key Features

• Slotted construction allows radial compression for secure interference-fit installation
• 18-8 stainless steel provides moderate corrosion resistance suitable for damp or washdown-adjacent environments
• 1-1/4 inch overall length fits compact mechanical and structural assemblies
• 5/32 inch diameter suits standard drilled hole applications in light machinery and fixtures
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard US tooling and hole specifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or production fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a slotted spring pin with a 5/32 inch diameter and 1-1/4 inch length in the inch measurement system.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and millwrights using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Ensure the receiving hole diameter is properly sized to achieve the required interference fit before driving the pin. De-burr and clean the hole prior to installation to prevent damage to the pin or bore. When removing a spring pin, use an appropriately sized punch to avoid deforming the bore wall.
