Value Collection R57700717 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700717 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. Slotted spring pins, also called roll pins, are hollow cylindrical fasteners with a lengthwise slot that allows radial compression during installation. This compression creates a spring-like retention force against the walls of a drilled hole, locking the pin in place without adhesives or secondary hardware. At 3/8 inch in overall length and 1/16 inch in diameter, this is a small-format pin suited for light-duty assemblies where corrosion resistance is required. Installation is performed by technicians and assemblers working on mechanical sub-assemblies, fixtures, or equipment components.

This pin is used in applications where a corrosion-resistant fastener is needed to retain shafts, link mechanisms, or align mating components. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure, mild chemical contact, or washdown conditions. Typical install scenarios include light industrial equipment, fluid handling assemblies, and general mechanical fabrication where standard carbon steel pins would corrode. This SKU is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it suitable for production or maintenance stock purchasing.

Key Features

• Slotted design provides radial spring retention without adhesives or staking
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments
• 3/8 inch overall length for compact assembly applications
• 1/16 inch diameter fits precision-drilled holes in light-duty assemblies
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard imperial tooling and gauges

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard stock pin for mechanical assemblies requiring a 1/16 inch diameter slotted spring pin in 18-8 stainless steel with a 3/8 inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by mechanical assemblers or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. The receiving hole should be drilled to the nominal pin diameter for a proper interference fit. De-energize or lock out any equipment before servicing assemblies that contain these pins. Avoid reusing a pin that has been removed, as repeated compression cycling can reduce retention force.
