Value Collection R57700573 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The Value Collection R57700573 is a slotted spring pin made from 18-8 stainless steel, designed for use in mechanical assemblies where a coiled or solid pin would be used to secure components in a bored hole. At 2-1/4 inches long and 7/32 inch in diameter, this pin compresses on insertion and exerts radial pressure against the bore wall to hold its position without adhesive or secondary fasteners. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, chemical, or food-adjacent environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and industrial assembly workers install these pins during equipment fabrication, repair, and field maintenance.

This slotted spring pin is suited for general industrial applications including machine frames, linkages, hinges, and light structural assemblies. The inch-dimensioned sizing makes it compatible with standard fractional drill and reamer specifications used in North American fabrication shops and maintenance facilities. It is appropriate for both new assembly work and replacement in existing equipment where the bore diameter matches the 7/32 inch nominal pin size.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments
• Slotted design allows radial compression during insertion, locking the pin in place by spring tension
• 2-1/4 inch overall length accommodates moderate material thickness in typical assembly applications
• 7/32 inch nominal diameter sized for standard fractional bore tooling
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose commercial slotted spring pin for use in any inch-dimensioned bore requiring a 7/32 inch nominal diameter pin. Verify bore depth and diameter against the 2-1/4 inch length and 7/32 inch nominal size before installation.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified maintenance technician should install spring pins using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press to avoid deforming the slot. De-energize or lock out any equipment before servicing assemblies that contain these pins. Do not force an oversized pin into an undersized bore, as this can crack the workpiece or permanently deform the pin. Refer to applicable machinery maintenance standards for torque and preload requirements on the surrounding assembly.
