Value Collection R57700587 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700587 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. Slotted spring pins, also called roll pins, are hollow cylindrical fasteners with a longitudinal slot that allows the pin to compress during installation and exert outward spring force against the host bore. This design creates a secure, vibration-resistant fit without the need for adhesives or secondary locking hardware. The R57700587 measures 15/16 inches in length and 1/4 inch in diameter. It is used wherever a removable or semi-permanent pin joint is required in corrosion-prone or washdown environments.

This slotted spring pin is suited for light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies across industrial, agricultural, and MRO applications. Its 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and mild chemical exposure, making it a common choice for food-adjacent equipment, marine assemblies, and outdoor machinery. It installs into drilled through-holes or blind bores dimensioned to the nominal pin diameter.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and mildly corrosive environments
• Slotted design allows radial compression during installation for a secure interference fit
• 15/16 inch overall length suits a wide range of thin to medium cross-section joints
• 1/4 inch diameter compatible with standard drilled bores in common mechanical assemblies
• Inch-system dimensions for straightforward sourcing alongside standard imperial hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for use in drilled bores sized to accept a 1/4 inch nominal diameter pin in inch-measurement mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by maintenance technicians or mechanical assemblers using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Ensure the receiving bore is clean, properly sized, and free of burrs before driving the pin. De-energize or lock out any machinery before servicing pin joints on rotating or actuated components. Do not reuse heavily deformed pins, as repeated compression cycling reduces holding force.
