Value Collection R57700673 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The Value Collection R57700673 is a slotted spring pin designed for mechanical assemblies requiring a reliable, compression-fit fastener. At 2-1/4 inches long and 1/2 inch in diameter, this pin is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, providing solid corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, or chemically exposed environments. Slotted spring pins work by compressing slightly during installation, then expanding against the hole wall to create a secure, self-retaining fit without threading or adhesive. This pin suits applications across industrial, marine, and general mechanical assembly work where dimensional consistency and material durability are required.

This pin is appropriate for use in shaft-to-hub connections, clevis linkages, hinge assemblies, and other mechanical joints where a removable but secure fastener is needed. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it suitable for environments where mild corrosion resistance is a priority, including food processing equipment, marine hardware, and outdoor machinery. This item is sold individually but is subject to a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows radial compression for a self-retaining press fit
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and moderate chemical environments
• 2-1/4 inch overall length suits medium-depth bore applications
• 1/2 inch diameter provides substantial load capacity in shear applications
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard imperial-dimensioned assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard imperial-dimensioned slotted spring pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 1/2 inch diameter compression-fit fastener with a 2-1/4 inch insertion length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. The receiving hole should be drilled to the nominal pin diameter to allow proper compression and retention. Ensure the assembly is secured and de-energized before driving the pin. Removal requires a properly sized punch driven from the correct end to avoid deforming the bore.
