Value Collection R57700599 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Stainless

Product Description

The Value Collection R57700599 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel for reliable performance in demanding fastening applications. Measuring 1-5/8 inches in length and 1/4 inch in diameter, this pin uses a longitudinal slot to allow radial compression during installation, creating a secure press fit in mating holes. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for environments where moisture, mild chemicals, or outdoor exposure are factors. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals install slotted spring pins where a reusable, shock-absorbing fastener is required to secure shafts, linkages, or components against rotational or axial movement.

Slotted spring pins of this size are commonly used in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies across industrial, agricultural, and general manufacturing applications. Typical uses include securing gears to shafts, aligning components in jigs and fixtures, and retaining parts in housings or brackets. The 1/4 inch diameter and 1-5/8 inch length suit a range of standard bore and hole configurations found in production equipment and field-repair scenarios. This part is sold individually per package unit.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance in wet or mildly corrosive environments
• Slotted design allows radial compression for easy installation and removal without special tooling
• 1/4 inch diameter fits standard drilled hole patterns common in mechanical assemblies
• 1-5/8 inch overall length provides adequate engagement depth for light to medium shear loads
• Inch measurement system for straightforward sizing with standard drill bits and gauges

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 1/4 inch diameter slotted spring pin in 18-8 stainless steel. No specific model or system compatibility was stated in the product data.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by maintenance technicians and machinists using a pin punch and hammer or a press. Always ensure the receiving hole is drilled and deburred to the correct diameter before driving the pin to avoid splitting or deforming the slot. Do not exceed the rated shear capacity for the pin diameter and material grade. Remove power or lock out equipment before servicing assemblies that contain spring pins in rotating or high-load mechanisms.
