Value Collection R57700529 Slotted Spring Pin 1 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700529 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, offering reliable corrosion resistance in demanding mechanical assemblies. At 1 inch in overall length and 3/16 inch in diameter, this pin is designed to secure components through tension created by its slotted, rolled construction. The slotted body compresses upon insertion and exerts outward spring force against the hole wall, providing a firm, vibration-resistant fit. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical assemblers commonly install these pins in machine frames, linkages, and equipment housings where a semi-permanent, removable fastener is needed.

This slotted spring pin is suited for light-duty to medium-duty mechanical applications in industrial, commercial, and trade environments. It performs well in assemblies exposed to moisture or mild chemicals due to the 18-8 stainless steel construction. Typical use cases include securing pivot points, positioning dowels, and locking shaft collars or clevis brackets. The inch measurement system makes this pin compatible with standard American fastener tooling and replacement workflows.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without plating or coating
• Slotted spring design compresses on insertion for a self-retaining, vibration-resistant fit
• 1 inch overall length suits a wide range of standard mechanical assembly depths
• 3/16 inch diameter matches common drilled hole sizes in American-standard components
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use slotted spring pin for standard inch-measurement mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/16 inch diameter hole.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed and removed by maintenance technicians or millwrights using a pin punch and hammer or a pin driver tool. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before servicing any pinned assembly. Drive the pin straight and square to the hole to avoid deforming the slot or the bore. Reuse of spring pins is generally not recommended after removal, as the slotted body may not return to its original diameter.
