Value Collection R57700617 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700617 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel for reliable performance in demanding fastening applications. Slotted spring pins, also called roll pins, are hollow cylindrical fasteners with a lengthwise slot that allows radial compression during installation. This design creates a spring-loaded fit inside a drilled hole, holding components together without the need for threading or adhesives. At 1 inch in overall length and 5/16 inch in diameter, this pin suits a wide range of mechanical assemblies. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides good corrosion resistance and strength across a broad service temperature range.

This slotted spring pin is suited for use in mechanical assemblies, industrial machinery, hinges, linkages, and positioning fixtures where a removable or semi-permanent pin connection is required. The 18-8 stainless steel grade makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure or mild chemical contact, including food-processing equipment, marine hardware, and general manufacturing applications. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the typical installers in both light industrial and commercial settings.

Key Features

• Slotted roll-pin design provides radial spring tension for a secure, self-retaining fit in drilled holes
• 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance in wet or mildly corrosive environments
• 1 inch overall length suits a wide variety of standard mechanical assembly applications
• 5/16 inch diameter for use in correspondingly sized drilled or reamed holes
• Inch measurement system for straightforward specification and replacement sourcing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin replacement or new-installation fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/16 inch diameter, 1 inch long roll pin in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or a hydraulic press. Always ensure the receiving hole is drilled or reamed to the correct diameter and is free of burrs before driving the pin. De-energize or lock out any equipment before servicing assemblies that contain spring pins. Avoid reusing pins that have been fully compressed or show visible cracking at the slot.
