Value Collection R57900567 Slotted Spring Pin 8mm 3mm Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57900567 is a metric slotted spring pin manufactured from 1070-1080 grade steel with a plain finish. Slotted spring pins are hollow, cylindrical fasteners with a longitudinal slot that allows the pin to compress during insertion and expand to create a secure, load-bearing fit within a drilled hole. This pin measures 8 mm in overall length with a 3 mm diameter. It is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and assembly professionals in mechanical assemblies where a reliable, removable pin connection is required to align, retain, or drive components under dynamic or shear loads.

This slotted spring pin is suited for metric fastening applications in general industrial machinery, mechanical drive assemblies, hinges, linkages, and similar equipment. The 1070-1080 carbon steel construction provides the spring tension and hardness needed to maintain retention force in standard load conditions. The plain finish is appropriate for interior or protected mechanical environments. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it well-suited for production or MRO inventory replenishment.

Key Features

• Slotted design compresses on insertion and expands to create a secure interference fit
• 1070-1080 carbon steel construction delivers hardness and consistent spring tension
• 8 mm overall length with 3 mm diameter for metric mechanical applications
• Plain finish suitable for protected interior mechanical environments
• Metric system of measurement for compatibility with metric-dimensioned assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose metric slotted spring pin for use in drilled holes accepting a 3 mm nominal diameter pin across standard industrial and mechanical assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by maintenance technicians or assembly personnel using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. The receiving hole should be drilled to the correct nominal diameter per the applicable engineering specification to ensure proper interference fit. Always de-energize and lock out machinery before installing or removing spring pins in rotating or powered assemblies. Reuse of removed spring pins is generally not recommended, as repeated compression cycles can reduce retention force.
