Value Collection R57900785 Slotted Spring Pin 26mm 8mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57900785 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 1070-1080 grade carbon steel with a plain finish. Slotted spring pins, also called slotted roll pins, are hollow cylindrical fasteners with a longitudinal slot that allows the pin to compress during insertion and exert a radial spring force against the hole wall. This self-retaining action eliminates the need for secondary locking hardware. At 26 mm in overall length and 8 mm in diameter, this metric-dimensioned pin suits a wide range of light to medium-duty fastening, alignment, and assembly applications. Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians, machinists, and mechanical assemblers.

This slotted spring pin is suited for use in mechanical assemblies where a removable, reusable fastener is needed to secure rotating or sliding components, align mating parts, or serve as a shear element. Common applications include machine frames, linkage assemblies, agricultural equipment, and general industrial machinery. Its metric dimensions make it appropriate for metric-standard assemblies. The plain finish indicates no supplemental corrosion coating, so this pin is best used in dry or protected environments.

Key Features

• Slotted design provides radial spring force for self-retaining fit in drilled holes
• 1070-1080 carbon steel construction delivers strength appropriate for light to medium-duty shear and alignment applications
• Metric dimensions: 26 mm overall length, 8 mm diameter
• Plain finish for use in low-moisture or protected service environments
• No secondary locking hardware required after installation

Compatibility

Designed for use in metric-standard drilled holes requiring an 8 mm nominal diameter slotted spring pin. Verify hole tolerance and material hardness against pin specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Ensure the receiving hole is clean, free of burrs, and drilled to the correct nominal diameter before driving the pin. Pins should be driven squarely into the hole to prevent distortion of the slot. When removing or replacing, use an appropriately sized pin punch to avoid damaging the bore.
