Value Collection R57700707 Slotted Spring Pin 0.1563 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700707 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 1070-1090 alloy steel with a plain finish. It measures 0.1563 inches (5/32 inch fraction) in diameter and 1.5 inches in overall length. Slotted spring pins are radially compressed during installation, allowing them to seat securely in a drilled hole and resist vibration-induced loosening. This pin does not meet military specifications and is intended for standard commercial and industrial fastening applications. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly workers use this type of pin to align components, retain shafts, and secure linkages in mechanical assemblies.

This pin is suited for light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where a reliable, removable retention fastener is needed. Typical applications include equipment manufacturing, general machine assembly, and maintenance repair operations. The alloy steel construction provides adequate shear strength for most commercial fastening scenarios. The plain finish indicates no corrosion-inhibiting coating is applied, making this pin most appropriate for dry or controlled indoor environments where moisture exposure is minimal.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows radial compression for secure press-fit installation
• 1070-1090 alloy steel construction for reliable shear strength in commercial applications
• 0.1563 inches (5/32 inch) diameter fits standard drilled or reamed hole sizes
• 1.5 inch overall length suits a range of common assembly thicknesses
• Plain finish suitable for dry, controlled environments
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard commercial slotted spring pin for general mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/32 inch diameter spring pin fastener in inch-measurement systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press to drive the pin into the mating hole without damaging the host material. Ensure the receiving hole is drilled or reamed to the correct tolerance before installation. Wear appropriate eye protection during installation and removal. To remove, drive the pin out with a punch sized smaller than the pin diameter.
