Value Collection R57700661 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The Value Collection R57700661 is a slotted spring pin machined from 18-8 stainless steel, designed to serve as a removable fastener in assemblies that require reliable retention with controlled radial force. The pin measures 1.5 inches in overall length and 7/16 inch in diameter. Its slotted construction allows the pin to compress during installation and exert consistent outward pressure against the bore wall once seated, resisting vibration-induced loosening without permanent deformation. Maintenance technicians, machinists, and assemblers working in light industrial, marine, or food-processing environments commonly install this fastener where corrosion resistance is a priority.

This slotted spring pin is suited for use in mechanical assemblies, brackets, linkages, and housings where a removable yet secure connection is needed. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for wet, humid, or mildly corrosive environments where carbon steel pins would be unsuitable. It is dimensioned to the inch measurement system and does not meet military specifications, making it appropriate for commercial and industrial applications rather than defense or aerospace use.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• 1.5 inch overall length for moderate-depth bore applications
• 7/16 inch diameter for a robust radial load capacity
• Slotted design allows radial compression during installation and consistent retention force once seated
• Inch measurement system for direct compatibility with standard Imperial bore tooling
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard commercial-grade slotted spring pin for use in Imperial-dimensioned bores across general industrial, marine, and light mechanical assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Always ensure the receiving bore is clean, free of burrs, and dimensioned correctly for the pin diameter before driving the pin into position. Power down and de-energize any machinery before pin installation or removal. Use proper eye protection when driving or removing spring pins with a punch, as compressed pins can eject with force.
