Value Collection R57700689 Slotted Spring Pin 3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700689 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 1070-1090 alloy steel with a plain finish. Slotted spring pins are hollow, cylindrical fasteners with a longitudinal slot that allows the pin to compress during insertion and exert radial pressure against the bore wall, creating a secure friction fit. This pin measures 3/4 inches in overall length and 5/32 inches in diameter. It is used in mechanical assemblies to align, retain, or lock components in place without requiring threaded fasteners or adhesives. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly workers install these pins in production and field-repair applications.

This slotted spring pin is suited for use in light-duty to medium-duty mechanical assemblies across industrial, commercial, and OEM manufacturing environments. Typical applications include shaft-to-hub connections, hinge assemblies, lever retention, and fixture alignment. The 1070-1090 alloy steel construction provides adequate shear strength and resilience for standard fastening tasks. The plain finish is appropriate for dry or lightly lubricated indoor environments where corrosion resistance is not a primary requirement.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows radial compression for a secure friction fit in bored holes
• 1070-1090 alloy steel construction delivers reliable shear strength for mechanical fastening
• 3/4 inch overall length suits shallow to mid-depth bore applications
• 5/32 inch diameter fits standard drilled or reamed hole sizes
• Plain finish compatible with dry and lightly lubricated assembly environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/32 inch diameter pin hole and up to 3/4 inch of engagement depth.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by maintenance technicians and machinists using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. The receiving bore should be drilled or reamed to the appropriate tolerance for the pin diameter before installation. De-energize or lock out any machinery before installing or removing pins in powered equipment in accordance with applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Avoid over-driving the pin, as this can damage the bore or distort the pin slot.
