Value Collection R57700677 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700677 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, designed to secure components by exerting radial pressure within a drilled hole. The slotted design allows the pin to compress during insertion and expand to grip the bore wall, creating a firm, removable connection without the need for adhesives or secondary fasteners. At 2-3/4 inches long and 1/2 inch in diameter, this pin is suited for medium-duty mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance and reliable retention are required. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install this type of fastener across a wide range of industrial applications.

Slotted spring pins are commonly used in manufacturing equipment, conveyor systems, agricultural machinery, and general-purpose mechanical assemblies where shafts, levers, or linkages must be pinned to mating components. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes this pin appropriate for environments with moisture exposure, mild chemical contact, or hygienic requirements where plain carbon steel fasteners would be unsuitable. This pin is sized in the inch measurement system and sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• Slotted spring design compresses on insertion and expands to grip bore walls without fasteners or adhesives
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or mildly corrosive environments
• 2-3/4 inch overall length accommodates medium-depth through-hole and blind-hole applications
• 1/2 inch diameter for use in standard half-inch drilled or reamed bores
• Inch measurement system sizing for compatibility with standard imperial-dimensioned components

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for use in any imperial-dimensioned assembly requiring a 1/2 inch diameter spring pin bore.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or a hydraulic press, depending on the fit tolerance of the bore. Ensure the receiving hole is clean, free of burrs, and properly sized before driving the pin. De-energize and lock out any machinery before installing or removing spring pins from rotating or moving assemblies. Removal is performed by driving the pin through with a punch of appropriate diameter or extracting with a pin extractor tool.
