Value Collection R57700523 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700523 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. Spring pins, also called roll pins or tension pins, are hollow cylindrical fasteners with a longitudinal slot that allows the pin to compress during installation and exert radial pressure against the bore wall for a secure, vibration-resistant fit. This pin measures 13/16 inches in overall length and 3/16 inches in diameter. It is sized for light- to medium-duty fastening applications and is installed by maintenance technicians, machinists, and field service professionals working on mechanical assemblies.

This slotted spring pin is suited for use in mechanical linkages, hinges, clevis connections, and general-purpose pin retention applications where corrosion resistance is required. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with exposure to moisture, mild chemicals, or outdoor conditions. It is used in industrial equipment, HVAC mechanical linkages, plumbing fixture assemblies, and similar trade applications where a standard inch-series fastener is specified.

Key Features

• Slotted design compresses on installation for a secure interference fit in the bore
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or chemical-exposed environments
• Inch-series dimensions: 13/16 inches long, 3/16 inches diameter
• Does not meet military specifications — suitable for standard commercial and trade applications
• Lightweight at 0.08 pounds per unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series slotted spring pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/16-inch diameter pin bore and 13/16-inch engagement length.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or a press. Always ensure the bore diameter matches the nominal pin diameter within the specified tolerance before installation. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing mechanical linkages or pin-retained assemblies. Do not reuse a spring pin that has been fully compressed or deformed, as fatigue may compromise retention force.
