Value Collection R57900727 Slotted Spring Pin 16mm 6mm Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57900727 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 1070-1080 grade steel with a plain finish. Slotted spring pins are cylindrical fasteners with a lengthwise slot that allows the pin to compress during installation and exert radial spring force against the bore wall, creating a secure, vibration-resistant fit without additional hardware. This pin measures 16 mm in overall length and 6 mm in diameter, making it suited for metric assembly applications across mechanical, industrial, and light manufacturing environments. Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians and mechanical assemblers working on precision component assemblies.

This slotted spring pin is used in metric fastening applications where a removable, reusable, or shock-absorbing pin connection is required. Common installation scenarios include shaft-to-hub connections, hinges, linkages, and alignment fixtures in industrial equipment and machinery. The metric dimensioning is consistent with components designed to international standards, and the plain steel finish is appropriate for interior or protected assemblies where corrosion exposure is limited.

Key Features

• 1070-1080 grade steel construction provides high tensile strength and reliable spring action
• Slotted design allows radial compression for a secure interference fit in the bore
• 16 mm overall length suits a range of metric mechanical assemblies
• 6 mm diameter for use in standard metric bore applications
• Plain finish suitable for protected or interior installation environments
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a metric slotted spring pin for use in standard 6 mm diameter bores across industrial and mechanical assemblies. No specific OEM model or system compatibility was identified in the available product data.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press — do not use standard pliers, as they can distort the slot geometry. Ensure the receiving bore diameter is within the appropriate tolerance range for a 6 mm slotted pin before pressing. Inspect the bore for burrs or debris before installation. Pins should be driven fully flush or to the specified depth without overdriving, which can collapse the slot and compromise spring tension.
