Value Collection R57900525 Slotted Spring Pin 26mm 2mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57900525 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 1070-1080 grade steel with a plain finish. Slotted spring pins are cylindrical fasteners with a lengthwise slot that allows radial compression during insertion, creating a secure press fit in drilled holes. This pin measures 26 mm in overall length and 2 mm in diameter, making it suitable for light-duty retention and alignment applications in mechanical assemblies. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and industrial assembly workers use slotted spring pins to secure components such as shafts, levers, and linkages without the need for threading or additional fasteners.

This pin is designed for use in metric mechanical assemblies where a compliant, self-retaining fastener is required. Typical applications include machine frames, conveyor components, agricultural equipment, and general industrial machinery. The slotted design allows the pin to absorb vibration and shock loads, which makes it well suited for dynamic assemblies subject to repeated loading. The plain finish is appropriate for indoor or protected environments where corrosion resistance is not a primary concern.

Key Features

• Slotted spring design compresses radially on insertion for a secure interference fit
• 1070-1080 grade steel construction provides suitable hardness and spring-back for retention applications
• 26 mm overall length in metric sizing for use in metric-dimensioned assemblies
• 2 mm diameter for use in correspondingly sized drilled holes
• Plain finish for general indoor mechanical use
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric slotted spring pin for use in commercial and industrial mechanical assemblies requiring a 2 mm diameter compliant retention fastener.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by machinists or mechanical technicians using a pin punch and mallet or an arbor press. The receiving hole should be drilled to the appropriate diameter to achieve the required interference fit. Ensure all machinery is de-energized and locked out before installing or removing spring pins in powered equipment. Avoid reusing heavily deformed pins, as repeated compression can reduce retention force.
