Value Collection R57900517 Slotted Spring Pin 18mm 2mm Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57900517 is a metric slotted spring pin manufactured from 1070-1080 grade steel with a plain finish. Slotted spring pins, also called roll pins, are cylindrical fasteners with a lengthwise slot that allows radial compression during installation. This compression creates a secure press fit inside a drilled hole, holding shafts, gears, levers, and linkages in alignment under load. At 18 mm in length and 2 mm in diameter, this pin is sized for light-duty metric assemblies. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical contractors use slotted spring pins in a wide range of equipment repair and assembly applications.

This pin is suited for metric fastening applications in industrial equipment, machinery, fluid handling components, HVAC linkages, and other mechanical assemblies where a removable or permanent locating pin is required. The plain steel finish is appropriate for indoor or protected installations where corrosion exposure is limited. At 0.002 pounds per pin, the R57900517 is a compact fastener intended for small-bore holes in metal components. This part is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it practical for shop stock or production use.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows radial compression for a secure press fit without adhesive
• 1070-1080 grade steel construction for reliable shear and tensile strength in light-duty applications
• 18 mm overall length and 2 mm diameter sized for metric assemblies
• Plain finish suitable for protected indoor mechanical environments
• Metric system of measurement for direct compatibility with metric-dimensioned components
• Sold per pin with a minimum order quantity of 100 units for shop or production restocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for metric mechanical assemblies requiring a 2 mm diameter slotted spring pin in a standard 18 mm length. This pin does not meet military specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, or mechanical contractors using a punch driver or pin press sized for the 2 mm diameter. Always drill or verify the receiver hole to the correct metric tolerance before driving the pin to avoid splitting or deforming the slot. Remove all load and de-energize or lock out any equipment before servicing fasteners in rotating or pressurized assemblies. Do not reuse a slotted spring pin that has been removed, as repeated compression cycles can fatigue the slot and reduce retention force.
