Value Collection R57700545 Slotted Spring Pin 2 in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700545 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and reliable holding strength in demanding fastening applications. Measuring 2 inches in overall length with a 3/16 inch diameter, this pin is designed to secure components by compressing during insertion and exerting radial force against the bore wall. The slotted design allows the pin to flex, absorbing shock and vibration loads in service. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals install these pins in mechanical assemblies where a removable yet secure locating or retention fastener is required.

This slotted spring pin is suited for use in industrial machinery, mechanical assemblies, and general fabrication applications where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements. The inch measurement system makes it compatible with standard imperial-dimensioned bores and tooling. It is commonly installed in shafts, hinges, linkages, and housings across light and heavy manufacturing environments. The 18-8 stainless steel grade provides good weldability and resistance to oxidation in moderate service conditions.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments
• Slotted design compresses on insertion for a secure interference fit in the bore
• 2 inches overall length suits a wide range of assembly depths
• 3/16 inch diameter compatible with standard imperial tooling and bores
• Absorbs shock and vibration loads through radial spring action
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial applications

Compatibility

Designed as a commercial-grade slotted spring pin for use in standard imperial-dimensioned bores in industrial and mechanical assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Ensure the bore diameter is within the specified tolerance range for the pin diameter before installation. De-energize and lock out any machinery before servicing components that contain spring pins. Pins should be driven flush or to the specified depth without overdriving, which can distort the bore or damage mating components.
