Value Collection R57900605 Slotted Spring Pin 10 Mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57900605 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 1070-1080 grade steel with a plain finish. Slotted spring pins are hollow, longitudinally slotted fasteners that compress during installation and exert radial pressure against the hole wall to maintain their position without adhesive or additional hardware. This pin measures 10 mm in overall length and 3.50 mm in diameter, making it suited for light-duty to medium-duty retention applications in metal assemblies. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and industrial assembly professionals install these pins in shafts, hinges, linkages, and mechanical subassemblies where a removable, self-retaining fastener is required.

This slotted spring pin is specified on metric-dimensioned assemblies and is appropriate for use in general industrial manufacturing, maintenance and repair operations, and mechanical assembly environments. The 1070-1080 steel construction provides adequate hardness and spring characteristics for standard retention applications. Because this pin does not meet military specifications, it is intended for commercial and industrial use rather than defense or aerospace applications requiring MIL-SPEC compliance.

Key Features

• 1070-1080 grade steel construction for reliable spring tension and durability
• Slotted design allows radial compression during installation, locking the pin in place without fasteners
• 10 mm overall length suits a range of standard metric assembly applications
• 3.50 mm diameter for metric-dimensioned bores and shafts
• Plain finish with no coating or plating — appropriate for indoor and protected environments
• Commercial-grade part for general industrial and maintenance use

Compatibility

Designed as a metric slotted spring pin for general commercial and industrial assemblies requiring a 3.50 mm diameter, 10 mm long self-retaining pin in standard metric-dimensioned bores.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. The receiving hole should be drilled to the appropriate tolerance to allow the pin to compress and seat correctly. Inspect the bore for burrs or debris before installation to avoid damaging the pin or misaligning the assembly. Always relieve load from the assembly and follow applicable shop safety procedures before driving or removing spring pins.
