Value Collection R57700559 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700559 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. Slotted spring pins are cylindrical fasteners with a longitudinal slot that allows radial compression during installation, enabling the pin to exert outward spring force against the host bore for a secure, vibration-resistant fit. This pin measures 7/8 inches in overall length and 7/32 inches in diameter. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, chemical-exposed, or outdoor environments. It is installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and assembly professionals across a wide range of mechanical and structural applications.

This slotted spring pin is suited for use in mechanical assemblies where a removable, reusable pin fastener is required. Common applications include shaft-to-hub connections, linkage assemblies, hinges, and light structural joints in industrial, commercial, and general manufacturing settings. The inch-system dimensions make it compatible with standard inch-measurement tooling and bore specifications. Its stainless steel grade is appropriate for applications where mild corrosion resistance is a requirement and where the pin will not be subjected to highly acidic or chloride-heavy environments without additional protective measures.

Key Features

• Slotted design provides radial spring tension for a secure press fit in standard drilled bores
• 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance for wet or outdoor environments
• Overall length of 7/8 inches with a 7/32 inch diameter for precise fitment
• Inch-system dimensions compatible with standard fractional tooling and bore gauges
• Reusable and removable with standard pin punch and hammer

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for use in inch-dimension mechanical assemblies requiring a 7/32 inch bore diameter and 7/8 inch pin length.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press; ensure the receiving bore is clean and within the appropriate diameter tolerance before driving the pin. Compress the pin along its slot axis during insertion to avoid deformation. Always wear appropriate eye protection when driving pins with impact tools. To remove, drive the pin through the bore using a punch of appropriate diameter.
