Value Collection R57900849 Slotted Spring Pin 70mm 10mm Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57900849 is a metric slotted spring pin manufactured from 1070-1080 grade steel with a plain finish. Slotted spring pins are hollow, longitudinally slotted fasteners designed to compress radially during insertion and exert a constant outward spring force against the bore wall, locking the pin firmly in place without adhesives or secondary fasteners. This pin measures 70 mm in overall length with a 10 mm diameter. It is a common precision fastener used in mechanical assemblies, machinery, and industrial equipment where reliable shaft-to-hub or component-to-component alignment and retention is required. Installation is performed by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians across manufacturing and industrial maintenance applications.

This slotted spring pin is suited for metric mechanical assemblies in light to heavy industrial settings. Typical applications include machine frames, conveyor systems, tooling fixtures, and general-purpose assemblies requiring a removable or semi-permanent pin retention solution. The 1070-1080 steel construction provides adequate shear strength and spring force for standard duty mechanical connections. The plain finish is appropriate for use in dry or lightly lubricated environments where corrosion resistance is not a primary concern.

Key Features

• 70 mm overall length suits metric assemblies requiring moderate pin engagement depth
• 10 mm diameter provides substantial radial spring force and shear capacity
• 1070-1080 grade steel construction delivers consistent spring-back and durability under load
• Slotted design allows radial compression for press-fit installation without special adhesives
• Plain finish suitable for dry or lightly lubricated service environments
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for standard commercial and industrial applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric slotted spring pin for general-purpose industrial and mechanical assemblies requiring a 10 mm diameter, 70 mm long pin retention solution.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically driven into bored holes using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press by qualified millwrights or maintenance technicians. The receiving bore should be sized per standard metric tolerance specifications for the pin diameter to ensure proper spring force and retention. Inspect the bore and mating components for burrs or damage before installation. Power down and de-energize all equipment before servicing any assembly that includes this pin.
