Value Collection R57700693 Slotted Spring Pin 5/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700693 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 1070-1090 alloy steel with a plain finish. Slotted spring pins are cylindrical fasteners with a longitudinal slot that allows the pin to compress during insertion and exert a spring force against the walls of the mating hole, creating a secure, vibration-resistant connection. This pin measures 5/16 inches in overall length with a 1/16 inch diameter. It is used in general mechanical assemblies where a removable or semi-permanent retention pin is required. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly workers are the primary installers of this fastener type.

This slotted spring pin is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies where a compact, low-profile retention pin is needed. Common applications include linkage assemblies, hinge pins, stop pins, and positioning applications in industrial machinery, fixtures, and equipment. The inch-system dimensions make it compatible with standard inch-measurement bore applications. The plain finish is appropriate for interior or protected environments where corrosion exposure is minimal.

Key Features

• 1070-1090 alloy steel construction provides reliable spring force and durability
• Slotted design compresses on insertion for a secure interference fit in mating holes
• Plain finish suitable for protected, low-corrosion environments
• 5/16 inch overall length for compact fastening applications
• 1/16 inch diameter for use in small-bore assemblies
• Inch system dimensions for compatibility with standard inch-measurement hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted spring pin for use in standard inch-measurement bore applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. Does not meet military specifications.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Ensure the mating hole diameter matches the nominal pin diameter to achieve proper interference fit. Inspect the bore for burrs or damage before installation. Removal is performed with an appropriate pin punch driven from the accessible end of the bore.
