Value Collection R57700503 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700503 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, designed for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a reliable, resilient fastening solution. Measuring 1-3/4 inches in length and 5/32 inches in diameter, this pin uses a longitudinal slot to allow radial compression during installation, creating a secure press fit in the mating hole. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, chemical, or outdoor environments. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install these pins in shafts, linkages, hinges, and similar assemblies across industrial and commercial applications.

Slotted spring pins are widely used in general mechanical assemblies, light-to-medium duty machinery, fluid handling equipment, and structural linkages. This pin is appropriate for both original equipment assembly and field repair work where a standard inch-series slotted spring pin is required. The 18-8 stainless steel grade makes it a practical choice in environments where carbon steel pins would be susceptible to rust or surface degradation.

Key Features

• 1-3/4 inches overall length for standard inch-series applications
• 5/32 inches diameter with slotted design for radial compression and secure press fit
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or chemical environments
• Inch system of measurement for compatibility with standard SAE tooling and gauges
• Does not meet military specifications — suited for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series slotted spring pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/32 inches diameter, 1-3/4 inches long press-fit pin in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Always ensure the receiving hole is drilled and reamed to the correct tolerance before driving the pin to avoid damage to the assembly. Inspect the pin and bore for burrs or debris before installation. Pins should not be reused after removal, as repeated compression and expansion cycles degrade the retention force.
