Value Collection R57700651 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700651 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, designed to provide reliable retained fastening in assemblies that require flexibility and corrosion resistance. Measuring 2-1/2 inches in length with a 3/8 inch diameter, this pin compresses during insertion and exerts radial spring force against the hole wall to hold its position without additional hardware. Slotted spring pins are commonly installed by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians in mechanical assemblies, linkages, hinges, and shaft connections where a removable or semi-permanent fastener is needed.

This pin is suited for use in general industrial, agricultural, and mechanical maintenance applications. Its 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moderate moisture exposure or mild chemical contact where carbon steel would be prone to corrosion. Typical install scenarios include production machinery, conveyor systems, and equipment requiring periodic disassembly and pin replacement. This part is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows radial compression for secure press-fit installation
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or mildly chemical environments
• 2-1/2 inch overall length suits medium-depth bore applications
• 3/8 inch diameter for use in appropriately sized through-holes
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard imperial tooling and gauges

Compatibility

Designed as a standard imperial-dimension slotted spring pin for use in general mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/8 inch diameter hole and 2-1/2 inch pin length.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal are typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Power down and de-energize any equipment before servicing pinned assemblies. Ensure the receiving hole is clean, properly sized, and free of burrs before driving the pin to avoid deformation. Do not reuse pins that show cracking, permanent deformation, or significant wear at the slot.
