Value Collection R63094445 Slotted Spring Pin 420 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63094445 is a slotted spring pin machined from 420 stainless steel with a bright finish. Slotted spring pins, also called roll pins or tension pins, are hollow cylindrical fasteners with a longitudinal slot that allows the pin to compress under load and spring back against the bore wall to maintain a secure fit without additional locking hardware. This pin measures 3/16 inch in overall length and 1/16 inch in diameter. It is sized for light-duty mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance is needed and space is limited. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers install these as pivot pins, hinge pins, or locating pins in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

This slotted spring pin is suited for use in machinery, plumbing fixtures, valve assemblies, and general mechanical linkages where a stainless steel fastener is required for corrosion resistance. The inch-system sizing makes it compatible with standard imperial-dimensioned bores. Its compact 3/16 inch length fits tight assemblies with minimal through-hole depth. The 420 stainless steel grade offers moderate hardness and adequate corrosion resistance for indoor and light outdoor environments, making it a practical choice for HVAC equipment panels, pump assemblies, and similar trade applications.

Key Features

• 420 stainless steel construction provides moderate corrosion resistance and hardness
• Bright finish for clean surface contact in tight-tolerance bores
• Slotted design allows radial compression for a self-retaining press fit
• Inch-system dimensioning: 3/16 inch length, 1/16 inch diameter
• No secondary locking hardware required once installed in a properly sized bore

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series slotted spring pin for use in any application requiring a 1/16 inch diameter, 3/16 inch long roll pin in a corrosion-resistant stainless steel material.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or a pin press sized to the pin diameter. Always ensure the receiving bore is dimensioned correctly for a 1/16 inch spring pin before driving to avoid bore damage or pin deformation. Do not reuse a spring pin that has been removed, as the slot may be permanently deformed and the pin will not retain its clamping force. Wear appropriate eye protection when driving pins with a hammer and punch.
