Value Collection R57700541 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The Value Collection R57700541 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. Spring pins, also called roll pins or tension pins, are hollow cylindrical fasteners with a lengthwise slot that allows the pin to compress during installation and exert outward radial force to hold itself in place. This pin measures 1-3/4 inches in overall length with a 3/16 inch diameter. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for environments where moisture or mild chemical exposure is a concern. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals install these pins in shafts, linkages, and mechanical assemblies to retain components without threading.

This slotted spring pin is used in general mechanical assembly and maintenance applications across industrial, commercial, and light manufacturing settings. Typical applications include retaining gears, levers, or collars on shafts, securing clevis pins, and aligning components in jigs and fixtures. The inch-dimensioned sizing fits standard fractional tooling and gauging common in North American trade and manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• Slotted design compresses for press-fit installation and generates radial holding force
• 18-8 stainless steel grade offers corrosion resistance in wet or mildly corrosive environments
• 1-3/4 inch overall length suits medium-depth shaft and assembly applications
• 3/16 inch diameter fits standard fractional drill and reamer sizing
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard North American tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted spring pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/16 inch diameter, 1-3/4 inch long press-fit retaining pin in inch-dimensioned applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by pressing the pin into a drilled hole sized to the nominal pin diameter using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Ensure the receiving hole is clean and free of burrs before installation. Eye protection is required during driving operations. Removal is accomplished by driving the pin through the assembly with an appropriately sized punch.
