Value Collection R57700569 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700569 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, designed to provide controlled radial tension when driven into a drilled hole. The slotted design allows the pin to compress during insertion and exert outward spring force against the bore wall, creating a secure, vibration-resistant fit without adhesives or secondary fasteners. At 1-3/4 inches in length and 7/32 inch in diameter, this pin suits light- to medium-duty fastening applications across a wide range of assemblies. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers install these pins as pivot points, locking elements, or alignment features in metal fabrications.

This slotted spring pin is suited for use in mechanical assemblies where a removable yet secure pin connection is required. Typical applications include shaft-to-hub connections, clevis linkages, panel alignment, and general machine assembly work in industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical equipment manufacturing environments. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for installations where moderate corrosion resistance is needed, such as wet environments or outdoor-exposed assemblies.

Key Features

• Slotted spring design compresses on insertion and exerts radial force against bore for a secure, self-retaining fit
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides moderate corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• 1-3/4 inch overall length suits a broad range of light- to medium-duty assembly applications
• 7/32 inch diameter for use in correspondingly sized drilled or reamed holes
• Inch measurement system; does not meet military specifications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for use in any mechanical assembly requiring a 7/32 inch diameter, 1-3/4 inch long spring pin in an inch-measurement system.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or machinists using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. The receiving hole should be drilled or reamed to match the nominal pin diameter; an oversized hole will reduce the holding force of the spring action. De-energize or lock out any equipment before driving or removing pins from live assemblies. Removal requires a punch slightly smaller than the pin diameter driven through the hole from one end.
