Value Collection R57700679 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700679 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, designed for use in assemblies that require a fastener with controlled radial flexibility and corrosion resistance. At 3 inches in overall length and 1/2 inch in diameter, this pin installs by compressing radially into a drilled hole, then expanding to create a secure, vibration-resistant fit. The slotted design allows the pin to absorb shock and accommodate minor bore variations without permanent deformation. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install this type of pin in mechanical assemblies across industrial, marine, and food-processing environments where moisture or chemical exposure is a concern.

This slotted spring pin is suited for use in mechanical linkages, hinges, shaft assemblies, and retaining applications where a removable or semi-permanent fastener is required. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides good resistance to oxidation and mild corrosive environments, making it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor installations. It is dimensioned in inches and fits standard 1/2 inch drilled or reamed holes. This pin does not meet military specifications and is intended for commercial and light-industrial applications.

Key Features

• Slotted design compresses radially during installation for a secure interference fit
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and mildly corrosive environments
• 3 inches overall length with 1/2 inch diameter for use in standard bored holes
• Reusable and removable with standard pin punches and drive tools
• Absorbs shock and vibration without permanent deformation under normal load

Compatibility

Designed as a commercial-grade replacement or stock slotted spring pin for standard 1/2 inch diameter bored holes in mechanical assemblies. No specific OEM or system compatibility is stated for this part.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. De-energize and lock out all equipment before servicing any assembly that contains this pin. Ensure the receiving bore is clean, free of burrs, and sized correctly for a 1/2 inch slotted spring pin to prevent galling or damage to the pin during driving. Do not reuse a pin that shows visible cracking or permanent deformation along the slot.
