Value Collection R57700525 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700525 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. Slotted spring pins, also called roll pins, are cylindrical fasteners with a lengthwise slot that allows the pin to compress during installation and expand to hold firmly in the bore. This pin measures 7/8 inches in length and 3/16 inches in diameter. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and strength across a wide range of service environments. Maintenance technicians, machinists, and assembly professionals install these pins to secure components such as shafts, levers, and linkages in mechanical assemblies.

Slotted spring pins are used across industrial, commercial, and light-duty mechanical applications wherever a removable or semi-permanent fastener is needed to align or retain two mating parts. Common installation scenarios include pump and motor shaft assemblies, HVAC linkage hardware, plumbing valve components, and general mechanical maintenance situations where a standard solid pin is not required. This pin follows inch-system dimensions.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemically active environments
• Slotted design allows radial compression for easy drive-in installation and secure retention in the bore
• 7/8 inch overall length suits shallow-to-moderate depth bore applications
• 3/16 inch diameter fits standard bore sizes common in light mechanical assemblies
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/16 inch diameter slotted spring pin with a 7/8 inch overall length in an inch-measurement system.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, or mechanical assemblers using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Always power down and de-energize any equipment before servicing fasteners in rotating or actuating assemblies. Drive the pin squarely into the bore to avoid deforming the slot or damaging the surrounding material. Inspect the bore diameter before installation to confirm proper fit and retention.
