Value Collection R57700533 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The Value Collection R57700533 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel to provide corrosion resistance in demanding fastener applications. At 1-1/4 inches in overall length and 3/16 inches in diameter, this pin uses a longitudinal slot to allow radial compression during installation, creating a secure interference fit within the host bore. The slotted design distributes stress along the pin wall, making it suitable for shear-load connections in assemblies that require a reliable, removable fastener. Measured in the inch system, this pin is a standard choice for mechanical assemblies across industrial and trade applications.

Slotted spring pins are commonly used in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where a self-retaining fastener is needed to align or lock two components together. Typical applications include pivot points, hinge assemblies, shaft-to-hub connections, and linkage mechanisms found in HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, and general mechanical hardware. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes this pin well-suited for environments with moisture exposure or mild chemical contact. Installation requires a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press to seat the pin flush or below the surface of the workpiece.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments
• Slotted design allows radial compression for a secure interference fit without adhesives
• 1-1/4 inch overall length suits a range of standard bore depths
• 3/16 inch diameter fits common bore sizes in light to medium-duty assemblies
• Inch-system dimensioning for straightforward compatibility with standard tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin replacement for inch-system mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/16 inch diameter pin with 1-1/4 inch overall length. This pin does not meet military specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or maintenance technician using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Always de-energize and lock out any equipment before servicing assemblies that contain spring pins. Align the bore fully before driving the pin to prevent cocking or bore damage. Use a proper-diameter punch to avoid distorting the pin slot during installation or removal.
