Value Collection R57900691 Slotted Spring Pin 22mm 5mm Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57900691 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 1070-1080 grade carbon steel with a plain finish. Slotted spring pins are hollow, longitudinally slotted fasteners that compress during insertion and exert outward spring force against the bore wall to maintain their position without additional hardware. This pin measures 22 mm in overall length with a 5 mm diameter. It is a metric-standard component used in mechanical assemblies requiring a secure, removable, or semi-permanent pin connection. Machinists, millwrights, and assembly technicians are the typical installers in both production and MRO settings.

Slotted spring pins of this type are used in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies such as linkages, hinges, shafts, and clevis connections where controlled retention force is required. The plain finish is appropriate for indoor or protected applications where corrosion exposure is minimal. The metric dimensions make this pin suited for equipment designed to ISO or DIN standards. This SKU ships as a single pin and is subject to a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 1070-1080 carbon steel construction provides reliable spring retention force
• 22 mm overall length in metric standard sizing
• 5 mm diameter for precise bore fit in metric-spec assemblies
• Slotted design allows radial compression for tool-assisted or hand installation
• Plain finish suitable for dry or protected indoor environments
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed for use in metric-dimensioned mechanical assemblies requiring a 5 mm bore diameter slotted spring pin connection.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by millwrights, machinists, or assembly technicians using a pin punch and hammer or a hydraulic press. Ensure the receiving bore is clean, free of burrs, and machined to the correct tolerance before installation. Do not overdrive the pin beyond flush unless the application specifically requires it. For removal, use the appropriate punch diameter to avoid deforming the bore.
