Value Collection R63090842 Slotted Spring Pin 420 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63090842 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 420 stainless steel with a bright finish. Slotted spring pins are cylindrical fasteners with a longitudinal slot that allows the pin to compress during installation and exert a spring force against the hole wall, creating a secure, vibration-resistant fit. This pin measures 1-5/8 inches in overall length and 1/8 inch in diameter. It is installed by maintenance technicians, machinists, and assembly professionals working on mechanical assemblies, linkages, hinges, and shaft connections where a removable or semi-permanent retention fastener is required.

This slotted spring pin is suited for general industrial and mechanical assembly applications where a corrosion-resistant fastener is preferred over carbon steel alternatives. The 420 stainless steel construction provides moderate corrosion resistance along with higher hardness than austenitic grades, making it appropriate for environments with mild moisture exposure or where wear resistance is a factor. Typical installation scenarios include agricultural equipment, fluid handling components, tooling fixtures, and light machinery assemblies.

Key Features

• 420 stainless steel construction provides moderate corrosion resistance and elevated hardness
• Bright finish for consistent surface quality and dimensional accuracy
• Slotted design allows radial compression for a spring-loaded, vibration-resistant fit in the hole
• 1-5/8 inch overall length and 1/8 inch diameter for precise fitment in standard pin holes
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard imperial tooling and gauges
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-duty slotted spring pin for commercial and industrial mechanical assemblies requiring an imperial-dimensioned, corrosion-resistant retention fastener.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by machinists or mechanical assemblers using a pin punch and hammer or a hydraulic press, depending on fit tolerance and material hardness. Ensure the receiving hole diameter matches the nominal pin diameter and is free of burrs before driving the pin. Wear appropriate eye protection during hammer installation to guard against pin fragments or tooling contact. Follow applicable machinery safety lockout and tagout procedures before servicing any assembly that incorporates these pins.
