Value Collection R57900585 Slotted Spring Pin 26mm 3mm Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57900585 is a metric slotted spring pin manufactured from 1070-1080 grade carbon steel with a plain finish. Slotted spring pins are hollow, slotted fasteners designed to compress radially upon insertion, creating a secure friction fit within a drilled hole. The slot allows the pin to flex during assembly, distributing stress along its length. At 26 mm in overall length and 3 mm in diameter, this pin suits precision fastening applications in mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and machine components. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly line professionals are the primary installers of this fastener type.

This pin is suited for use in metric mechanical assemblies where a removable or semi-permanent locating or locking fastener is required. It is commonly used in light machinery, tooling fixtures, conveyor components, and general industrial fabrication. The metric dimensioning makes it appropriate for equipment manufactured to ISO or DIN standards. It does not meet military specifications and is intended for commercial and industrial applications.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows radial compression for a secure friction fit in drilled holes
• 1070-1080 grade carbon steel construction provides good strength and toughness
• Plain finish suitable for dry or lightly lubricated environments
• Metric sizing at 26 mm length and 3 mm diameter for ISO and DIN compatible assemblies
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric slotted spring pin for use in 3 mm drilled holes in commercial and industrial mechanical assemblies requiring a friction-fit locating or locking fastener.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Ensure the receiving hole is drilled to the correct nominal diameter to achieve proper interference fit. Always de-energize and lock out any machinery before servicing components that use locating or locking pins. Avoid reusing heavily deformed pins, as repeated compression cycles can reduce clamping force.
