Value Collection R57700531 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700531 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel for reliable performance in demanding fastening applications. This pin measures 1-1/8 inches in length with a 3/16-inch diameter. The slotted design allows the pin to compress during installation and expand to create a secure, vibration-resistant fit within the host bore. Slotted spring pins are commonly installed by maintenance mechanics, millwrights, and assembly technicians working with shafts, linkages, and mechanical assemblies requiring a removable or semi-permanent locking pin.

This pin is suited for use in general industrial, mechanical, and equipment assembly applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with exposure to moisture, mild chemicals, or food-adjacent conditions where carbon steel fasteners would be prone to rust. Typical install scenarios include securing gears, levers, or collars to shafts in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies. Sold individually per unit.

Key Features

• Slotted design compresses on insertion and exerts radial spring force for a secure fit
• 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance in wet or chemical-exposed environments
• 1-1/8 inch overall length suits a range of standard bore depths
• 3/16 inch diameter for use in correspondingly sized bored holes
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard imperial tooling and gauges

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-duty slotted spring pin for use in imperial-dimensioned mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/16-inch diameter pin bore.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by maintenance technicians or assembly mechanics using a pin punch and hammer or a suitable arbor press. Always power down and de-energize any machinery before servicing pin-retained components. Use a driver or punch sized to the pin diameter to avoid deforming the slot during installation. Do not reuse a pin that has been significantly deformed or overstressed during removal.
