Value Collection R57900695 Slotted Spring Pin 26mm 5mm Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57900695 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 1070-1080 grade carbon 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 bore wall, creating a secure, vibration-resistant fit without additional hardware. This pin measures 26 mm in length and 5 mm in diameter, following metric sizing conventions. It is installed by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians in mechanical assemblies where a removable or semi-permanent alignment or retention fastener is required.

Slotted spring pins of this type are used across a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications including shaft-to-hub connections, gear and pulley retention, hinge pivots, and general machine assembly. The metric dimensions make this pin suited for equipment manufactured to metric standards. At 26 mm long and 5 mm in diameter, it fits medium-duty mechanical joints in both light industrial machinery and precision assemblies. This item is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it appropriate for production runs, maintenance kits, or stocking programs.

Key Features

• Slotted design compresses on insertion for a secure interference fit in drilled bores
• 1070-1080 carbon steel construction provides good tensile strength and shear resistance
• Plain finish suitable for standard indoor mechanical environments
• Metric sizing: 26 mm overall length, 5 mm diameter
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric slotted spring pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 5 mm bore diameter and 26 mm pin length. Verify bore diameter and required engagement length against assembly drawings before installation.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically driven into place using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press — do not use an impact driver directly on the pin face without a proper punch to avoid deforming the slot or bore. Ensure the receiving bore is drilled and reamed to the correct diameter for a proper interference fit. Degrease the bore and pin before installation in applications subject to vibration or dynamic loading. Removal is accomplished with a pin punch of appropriate diameter driven from the accessible end.
