Value Collection R57700627 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700627 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, designed for use in mechanical assemblies where vibration resistance and corrosion resistance are required. At 1-5/8 inches in length and 5/16 inches in diameter, this pin uses a slotted, rolled design that allows radial compression during installation, providing a secure press fit in the mating hole. It is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical assemblers working on production equipment, agricultural machinery, and general industrial applications.

Slotted spring pins are standard fastening components used across a wide range of industrial and mechanical assemblies. This pin is suited for residential and commercial equipment maintenance, light and medium manufacturing, and field repair applications where a reliable, removable drive pin is needed. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moderate moisture or chemical exposure where carbon steel alternatives would corrode.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and mildly chemical environments
• Slotted design allows radial compression for secure press-fit installation without adhesives
• 1-5/8 inch overall length suits medium-depth pin applications
• 5/16 inch diameter fits standard drilled holes in mechanical assemblies
• Does not meet military specifications — suitable for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for general commercial and industrial mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/16 inch diameter, 1-5/8 inch long drive pin in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press — never use a standard hammer without a properly sized punch, as this can deform the pin or damage the bore. Ensure the mating hole diameter is sized per ASME or equivalent standard for slotted spring pins before driving. Power down and de-energize any equipment before servicing components that contain drive pins. Removal is performed by driving the pin out from the accessible end using a punch of appropriate diameter.
