Value Collection R57700535 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700535 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, designed for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a resilient, compressed fastener that expands on installation to create a secure fit within a drilled hole. At 1-3/8 inches in length and 3/16 inches in diameter, this pin delivers reliable retention in shaft, linkage, and bracket applications. The slotted design allows radial compression during installation, then exerts outward spring force against the hole wall to resist vibration-induced loosening. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install this type of fastener across a wide range of light industrial and mechanical assembly work.

This pin suits residential and commercial mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or outdoor conditions. Typical applications include drive shaft retention, clevis and linkage pinning, gear and pulley positioning, and general machine assembly. It is sized for standard 3/16-inch drilled holes and is installed using a pin driver or press.

Key Features

• Slotted design compresses radially for easy insertion and exerts spring force to resist loosening from vibration
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides good corrosion resistance in wet and mildly corrosive environments
• 1-3/8 inches overall length suits a range of standard mechanical assembly applications
• 3/16 inches diameter fits standard drilled hole sizes
• Inch system of measurement for compatibility with standard tooling and drawings

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/16-inch diameter hole and 1-3/8 inches of pin engagement depth.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin driver or arbor press. Ensure the receiving hole diameter matches the nominal pin diameter and that the workpiece is secured before driving. Deburr hole edges prior to installation to prevent galling of the stainless steel surface. Remove any tension or load from the assembly before driving or removing spring pins.
