Value Collection R57700625 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700625 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, designed for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a reliable, compressible fastener. Slotted spring pins are hollow, slotted cylinders that compress during insertion and exert outward radial force against the bore wall, creating a secure, vibration-resistant fit without threading. This pin measures 1-1/2 inches in length and 5/16 inch in diameter. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, chemical-exposure, or outdoor environments. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install these pins in shafts, linkages, and hinges across a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications.

This slotted spring pin is appropriate for use in general-purpose mechanical assemblies, including shaft-to-hub connections, clevis and linkage joints, and alignment pinning in both light-duty and medium-duty equipment. The stainless steel grade makes it a practical choice for food-processing equipment, marine hardware, and other applications where mild-steel pins would corrode. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making this item suitable for shop stock or production-run procurement by maintenance departments and assembly operations.

Key Features

• Slotted design compresses on insertion for a secure, vibration-resistant fit in through-holes
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and chemical-exposure environments
• 1-1/2 inch overall length suits a wide range of shaft and linkage pinning applications
• 5/16 inch diameter for standard bore sizing in medium-duty assemblies
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard imperial-dimensioned components
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for use in any imperial-dimensioned bore requiring a 5/16 inch diameter compressible pin. Suitable for general commercial and industrial mechanical assemblies where military-specification fasteners are not required.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are installed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Always power down and de-energize equipment before servicing assemblies containing spring pins. Ensure the receiving bore diameter and depth are within the manufacturer-specified tolerance for the pin diameter before driving the pin. Do not reuse a spring pin that has been removed, as repeated compression cycles reduce retention force.
