Value Collection R57900515 Slotted Spring Pin 16mm 2mm Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57900515 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 1070-1080 grade carbon steel with a plain finish. Slotted spring pins, also called roll pins, are hollow cylindrical fasteners with a longitudinal slot that allows the pin to compress during installation and exert outward spring pressure against the bore wall. This design provides secure retention without requiring tight machined tolerances in the mating hole. The R57900515 measures 16 mm in overall length and 2 mm in diameter. It is used by machinists, millwrights, and assembly technicians working with metric fastener systems.

This slotted spring pin is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies where a metric fastener is required. Typical applications include hinge mechanisms, linkage assemblies, shaft-to-hub connections, and machine component alignment. The plain steel finish is appropriate for interior or protected environments where corrosion exposure is limited. The metric dimensioning makes it a direct fit in metric-spec equipment common in industrial, automotive, and general manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• Slotted design compresses on insertion for a secure interference fit without precision-bored holes
• 1070-1080 grade carbon steel construction provides good tensile strength for light to moderate shear loads
• 16 mm overall length in metric specification
• 2 mm diameter for use in correspondingly sized metric bores
• Plain finish suitable for protected or interior assembly applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style metric slotted spring pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 2 mm diameter roll pin with 16 mm length per metric fastener standards.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by machinists or assembly technicians using a pin punch and hammer or a hydraulic press. Always ensure the receiving bore diameter matches the nominal pin diameter per the applicable metric fastener standard before driving the pin. Disengage or de-energize any connected machinery before performing pin installation or removal. Avoid reusing spring pins that have been removed, as repeated compression cycles can reduce retention force.
