Value Collection R63096288 Slotted Spring Pin 420 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63096288 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 420 stainless steel. Slotted spring pins, also called rolled pins or tension pins, are cylindrical fasteners with a longitudinal slot that allows the pin to compress during insertion and exert radial force against the host bore. This design creates a secure, vibration-resistant fit without requiring adhesives or secondary locking hardware. At 0.1563 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches in length, this pin suits light-duty to medium-duty mechanical assemblies. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly workers install these pins in shafts, linkages, hinges, and brackets across industrial and commercial equipment applications.

This slotted spring pin is appropriate for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a reliable, reusable fastener in environments where moderate corrosion resistance is needed. The 420 stainless steel grade provides hardness suitable for load-bearing pin applications while offering better corrosion resistance than plain carbon steel. Typical applications include machine frames, conveyor components, automotive assemblies, and general industrial equipment where inch-series fasteners are specified. This item is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Key Features

• Slotted design compresses on insertion for a tight, self-retaining fit in standard bored holes
• 420 stainless steel construction provides hardness and moderate corrosion resistance
• 0.1563 inch (5/32 inch fractional) diameter fits standard inch-series bore specifications
• 1.5 inch overall length suits a range of shaft and bracket thicknesses
• Inch system of measurement for compatibility with standard U.S. fastener specifications
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series slotted spring pin for use in any mechanical assembly specifying a 5/32 inch diameter rolled pin per commercial fastener standards.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or a hydraulic press. Ensure the receiving bore is clean, free of burrs, and sized to the appropriate tolerance before driving the pin. Always de-energize and lock out machinery before performing any fastener installation or removal on live equipment. Pins that are deformed, cracked, or show signs of fatigue should not be reused.
