Value Collection R57900803 Slotted Spring Pin 60mm 8mm Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57900803 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 1070-1080 grade carbon steel with a plain finish. Slotted spring pins are hollow, slotted fasteners designed to flex under load, absorbing shock and vibration while maintaining a secure fit within a drilled hole. The pin compresses on insertion and exerts outward radial pressure against the hole wall, creating a self-retaining assembly. With an overall length of 60 mm and a diameter of 8 mm, this pin suits medium-duty mechanical assemblies. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers typically specify slotted spring pins where standard solid pins would fail under dynamic or cyclic loading.

Slotted spring pins of this size are commonly used in industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, conveyor systems, and general mechanical assemblies. They are appropriate for shafts, linkages, clevis connections, and similar applications where a removable or semi-permanent locating or locking pin is required. The metric dimensions make this pin directly suitable for metric-dimensioned components and equipment manufactured to ISO or DIN standards. This pin is sold individually and carries a minimum order quantity of 25 units.

Key Features

• Slotted design compresses on insertion for a self-retaining, vibration-resistant fit
• 1070-1080 grade carbon steel construction provides high strength and durability
• Plain finish suitable for standard indoor mechanical environments
• 60 mm overall length accommodates medium-depth bore applications
• 8 mm diameter fits standard metric-drilled holes in shafts and brackets
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric slotted spring pin for use in commercial and industrial mechanical assemblies requiring an 8 mm diameter, 60 mm long pin in a metric-dimensioned component.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are installed by mechanical technicians using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Always ensure the receiving hole is drilled to the correct nominal diameter per the applicable engineering specification before driving the pin. Wear appropriate eye protection when driving pins manually. To remove, drive the pin through the bore with a punch of appropriate diameter or press it out using controlled force to avoid damaging the host component.
