Value Collection R57900533 Slotted Spring Pin 5mm Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57900533 is a metric slotted spring pin designed for use in mechanical assemblies where a removable, load-bearing fastener is required. Manufactured from 1070-1080 grade steel with a plain finish, this pin measures 5 mm in overall length and 2.5 mm in diameter. Slotted spring pins compress radially during installation, allowing them to seat securely in drilled holes and resist axial displacement under vibration or dynamic loading. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals install these pins in shafts, linkages, brackets, and other precision-fit components across industrial and mechanical applications.

This pin is suited for metric-spec assemblies in light to medium-duty mechanical applications. Its compact 5 mm length and 2.5 mm diameter make it appropriate for smaller shaft diameters and tight-clearance assemblies. The plain steel finish is standard for interior or protected environments where corrosion exposure is not a primary concern. Typical use cases include machine component alignment, shaft-to-hub connections, and pivot pin applications in fabricated or OEM assemblies.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows radial compression for a secure press-fit in drilled holes
• 1070-1080 grade carbon steel construction provides reliable shear strength for light to medium loads
• 5 mm overall length suits compact metric assemblies with limited pin engagement depth
• 2.5 mm diameter fits standard metric-spec drilled hole patterns
• Plain finish is compatible with lubricated or protected installation environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric slotted spring pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 2.5 mm diameter, 5 mm long fastener in drilled-hole applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or machinists using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Ensure the receiving hole diameter matches the pin specification to achieve proper radial compression and retention. De-energize and lock out any machinery before installing or removing spring pins in live assemblies. Do not reuse a spring pin that has been removed, as repeated compression cycles can reduce retention force.
