Value Collection R57700589 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700589 is a slotted spring pin made from 18-8 stainless steel, designed for use in mechanical assemblies that require a resilient, corrosion-resistant fastening solution. The slotted design allows the pin to compress during installation and expand to grip the hole wall, providing a secure hold without permanent deformation of the host material. At 1 inch in overall length and 1/4 inch in diameter, this pin fits common bore sizes found in light to medium-duty industrial and commercial equipment. Installation is performed by maintenance technicians and mechanical assemblers working on shafts, linkages, and hinged components.

This slotted spring pin is suited for use in general industrial, manufacturing, and equipment maintenance applications. It functions as a retaining, aligning, or locking element in assemblies where vibration resistance and reusability are required. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure or mild chemical contact. This pin is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it well suited for maintenance shops, assembly operations, and supply stocking programs that need reliable fastener inventory.

Key Features

• Slotted spring design compresses on insertion and exerts radial force against hole wall for a secure fit
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or mildly corrosive environments
• 1 inch overall length suits a wide range of standard assembly depths
• 1/4 inch diameter fits common bore sizes in shafts, brackets, and linkage components
• Reusable design allows removal and reinstallation without significant loss of retention force

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for general mechanical assemblies requiring a 1/4 inch diameter, 1 inch long retaining or alignment pin in inch-measurement systems.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by maintenance technicians or mechanical assemblers using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before installing or removing pins from live assemblies. Ensure the receiving bore is clean, free of burrs, and sized correctly to allow the compressed pin to seat fully without damage to the host material. Do not use an oversized punch that contacts the bore wall during driving.
