Value Collection R57700517 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700517 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. Slotted spring pins, also called roll pins, are hollow, slotted cylinders that compress radially when driven into a drilled hole, creating a friction-fit fastening point. This pin measures 5/8 inches in overall length and 3/16 inches in diameter. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, humid, or mildly corrosive environments. These pins are installed and removed by mechanical trades, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals working on equipment, machinery, and structural components where a reusable, self-retaining fastener is required.

This slotted spring pin is suited for light to medium-duty fastening applications in residential and commercial equipment assemblies. Common uses include securing levers, gears, collars, and linkage components onto shafts in HVAC equipment, plumbing assemblies, and general mechanical assemblies. The 18-8 stainless steel grade makes this pin a reliable choice in applications where exposure to moisture or mild chemicals is a concern. These pins are sold individually but must be ordered in multiples of 100 per minimum order quantity requirements.

Key Features

• Slotted spring pin design compresses on installation for a secure friction fit without adhesives
• 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• 5/8 inches overall length suits compact fastening locations with limited clearance
• 3/16 inches diameter fits standard drilled holes in shafts, collars, and linkage components
• Inch measurement system for straightforward compatibility with standard drill sizing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard slotted spring pin for general mechanical and equipment assembly applications requiring a 3/16 inches diameter by 5/8 inches long roll pin in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or mechanical assemblers using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before removing or installing spring pins in any powered assembly. Drive the pin into a properly sized drilled hole that matches the nominal pin diameter to ensure correct compression and retention. Worn or oversized holes will not provide adequate retention and the hole should be evaluated before reuse.
