Value Collection R57700563 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700563 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, offering reliable corrosion resistance in demanding service environments. Slotted spring pins are designed to compress on insertion and expand against the bore wall, creating a secure, self-retaining fit without additional fasteners. This pin measures 1-1/8 inches in overall length and 7/32 inch in diameter. It is used across industrial, mechanical, and trade applications wherever a removable or semi-permanent pin retention solution is needed. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

This slotted spring pin is suited for use in shaft-to-hub assemblies, linkage connections, clevis pins, and general mechanical subassemblies where vibration or shock loading is present. The inch-dimensioned sizing makes it compatible with standard imperial-tolerance bored holes. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure, mild chemical contact, or where ferrous fasteners would be unsuitable.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or mildly corrosive service conditions
• Slotted design allows radial compression for self-retaining fit in standard imperial bores
• 1-1/8 inch overall length suits medium-depth retention applications
• 7/32 inch diameter fits standard imperial-dimensioned through-holes
• Inch measurement system for direct compatibility with imperial engineering drawings and fixtures

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for use in imperial-dimensioned bores requiring a 7/32 inch diameter self-retaining pin in industrial and mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or a hydraulic press. The bore should be clean and free of burrs before insertion to prevent damage to the pin slot. Always support the workpiece adequately to avoid distorting the assembly during driving. When removing, use a correctly sized pin punch to drive the pin through without mushrooming the bore or shearing the slot.
