Value Collection R57900583 Slotted Spring Pin 24mm 3mm Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57900583 is a metric slotted spring pin manufactured from 1070-1080 grade steel with a plain finish. Slotted spring pins are cylindrical fasteners with a longitudinal slot that allows the pin to compress during insertion and exert radial pressure against the hole wall, creating a secure friction fit without additional hardware. This pin measures 24 mm in length and 3 mm in diameter. It is used in mechanical assemblies where a removable or semi-permanent pin connection is required to transmit shear loads between mating components. Installation is performed by maintenance technicians and mechanical assemblers working on light to medium-duty machinery and equipment.

This slotted spring pin is suited for metric mechanical assemblies in industrial, manufacturing, and general-purpose maintenance applications. The 3 mm diameter and 24 mm length make it appropriate for small-bore pivot connections, shaft-to-hub retention, and linkage assemblies across a range of equipment types. The 1070-1080 steel construction provides adequate hardness and spring-back for standard shear-load applications that do not require military specification compliance.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows radial compression on insertion for a secure friction fit
• 1070-1080 grade steel construction for reliable hardness and spring tension
• Plain finish suitable for standard indoor and protected mechanical environments
• Metric dimensioning: 24 mm length, 3 mm diameter
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric slotted spring pin for general-purpose mechanical assemblies requiring a 3 mm diameter pin hole and 24 mm pin engagement length.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are installed by pressing or driving the pin into a drilled hole using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Ensure the receiving hole diameter matches the nominal pin diameter to achieve proper interference fit. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before removing or installing pin fasteners in live assemblies. Reuse of spring pins is not recommended once they have been fully seated and removed, as repeated cycling reduces radial spring force.
