Value Collection R57700647 Slotted Spring Pin 2 in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700647 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. Slotted spring pins, also called roll pins, are cylindrical fasteners with a lengthwise slot that allows the pin to compress radially during insertion and exert spring force against the bore wall when seated. This design creates a secure, vibration-resistant connection without the need for additional locking hardware. At 2 inches in length and 3/8 inch in diameter, this pin suits a range of medium-duty mechanical assemblies. Installation requires a pin driver or press. A licensed machinist, millwright, or maintenance technician typically installs these in production or field service applications.

Slotted spring pins are used in mechanical assemblies where a removable or semi-permanent fastener is needed to secure shafts, linkages, hinges, or clevis connections. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes this pin suitable for environments with moderate corrosion exposure, including food processing equipment, marine hardware, outdoor machinery, and general industrial assemblies where carbon steel would be prone to rust. The 2-inch length and 3/8-inch diameter fit standard bored holes in both light and medium structural components.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows radial compression for a secure, self-retaining fit in bored holes
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• 2 inches overall length suitable for medium-depth fastening applications
• 3/8 inch diameter fits standard machined bores in shafts and structural components
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a commercial-grade slotted spring pin for general industrial, mechanical, and structural assembly applications requiring a 3/8 inch diameter, 2 inch long roll pin in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install using a pin driver or arbor press sized to the pin diameter to avoid deforming the slot during seating. Ensure the receiving bore diameter matches the pin specification before installation. De-energize or lock out any machinery before servicing components that use spring pins. Removal typically requires a punch and hammer or a pin extractor tool; avoid reusing pins that show signs of cracking or permanent deformation at the slot.
