Value Collection R57700513 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700513 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. Slotted spring pins, also called roll pins or tension pins, are designed to compress upon insertion into a drilled hole, creating a secure interference fit that resists axial and rotational movement. This pin measures 0.5 inches in overall length with a 0.1875 inch (3/16 inch) diameter. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, washdown, and mildly corrosive environments. Mechanical technicians and maintenance professionals install these pins in assemblies requiring reliable, reusable retention without the need for adhesives or threaded fasteners.

Slotted spring pins are used across a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications including shaft-to-hub connections, hinge assemblies, clevis linkages, and general component alignment. At 0.5 inches in length and 3/16 inch in diameter, this pin is suited to compact assemblies in light-duty mechanical equipment, pneumatic actuators, linkage arms, and similar configurations. The 18-8 stainless steel grade makes it appropriate for food processing equipment, marine environments, and other settings where mild corrosion resistance is required.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows radial compression for secure interference fit in drilled holes
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and mildly corrosive environments
• 0.5 inch overall length and 3/16 inch diameter for compact assembly applications
• Reusable and removable without damage to mating components when installed properly
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for commercial and industrial mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/16 inch diameter hole and 0.5 inch pin length.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are installed by mechanical technicians using a pin punch and hammer or arbor press. The mating hole should be drilled to the specified nominal diameter to ensure proper interference fit. Always de-energize and lock out any machinery before pin installation or removal. Avoid driving the pin beyond flush unless the application specifically requires it, as over-insertion can distort the slotted body and reduce retention force.
