Value Collection R57700645 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700645 is a slotted spring pin designed for use in mechanical assemblies where a removable, load-bearing fastener is required. Measuring 1-3/4 inches in length and 3/8 inch in diameter, this pin is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, offering solid corrosion resistance suitable for wet, outdoor, or chemically exposed environments. Slotted spring pins compress on insertion and expand to grip the bore walls, creating a secure fit without adhesive or threading. This style of pin is installed by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance mechanics across a range of industrial and mechanical applications.

This pin suits general-purpose use in machinery, fixtures, jigs, hinges, and linkage assemblies where alignment, retention, or pivot function is needed. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for food processing equipment, marine hardware, pumps, and other assemblies subject to moisture or mild chemical exposure. It follows standard inch-measurement sizing and fits standard 3/8 inch pin bores.

Key Features

• Slotted design compresses for insertion and expands to grip bore walls without threading
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and mildly chemical environments
• 1-3/4 inch overall length suits a range of standard bore depths
• 3/8 inch diameter fits standard inch-measurement pin bores
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard American mechanical assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin replacement or new installation fastener for machinery, fixtures, and assemblies using 3/8 inch diameter inch-measurement pin bores.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed and removed by machinists or maintenance mechanics using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. De-energize and lock out any machinery before servicing pinned assemblies. Ensure the receiving bore is clean and free of burrs before driving the pin to avoid damage to the pin slot or bore walls. Do not reuse spring pins that show visible deformation or cracking along the slot.
