Value Collection R57700597 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The Value Collection R57700597 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. Slotted spring pins, also called roll pins, are cylindrical fasteners with a lengthwise slot that allows radial compression during installation. This design creates a constant outward spring force against the bore wall, securing the pin without adhesives or secondary fasteners. At 1.5 inches in length and 0.25 inch in diameter, this pin is sized for light- to medium-duty fastening applications. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, chemical, or outdoor environments. Maintenance mechanics, millwrights, and assembly technicians are the typical installers.

This slotted spring pin is used in mechanical assemblies where a removable, self-retaining fastener is needed to align or secure mating components. Common applications include shaft-to-hub connections, hinge pivot points, linkage assemblies, and panel alignment in industrial equipment, HVAC units, plumbing fixtures, and general machinery. The 18-8 stainless steel grade makes it well suited for food-service equipment, marine hardware, and other corrosion-prone environments where carbon steel pins would be unsuitable.

Key Features

• Slotted design provides radial spring force for secure, self-retaining fit in drilled bores
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• 1.5 inch overall length accommodates a range of standard assembly thicknesses
• 0.25 inch diameter fits common drilled-hole sizes in light- to medium-duty assemblies
• Reusable and removable with standard pin punch and hammer

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for use in any mechanical assembly requiring a 0.25 inch diameter roll pin per inch-system specifications. No specific OEM model compatibility was stated in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a pin punch sized to the pin diameter and a hammer or arbor press. Always ensure the receiving bore is clean and deburred before driving the pin to avoid binding or splitting. The slot should be oriented perpendicular to the primary load direction where possible to maximize shear strength. Remove the pin with a properly sized punch driven from the non-chamfered end to avoid bore damage.
