Value Collection R63096442 Slotted Spring Pin 420 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63096442 is a slotted spring pin machined from 420 stainless steel with a bright finish. It measures 0.1875 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches in overall length. Slotted spring pins are hollow, slotted cylinders that compress on insertion and exert radial force against the bore wall to hold their position without threading or adhesive. They are used in mechanical assemblies wherever a removable or semi-permanent pin is needed to align, retain, or lock components. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install these in production and field repair applications.

This pin fits light-duty to medium-duty mechanical assemblies in industrial, HVAC equipment, plumbing fixture, and general manufacturing applications. The 420 stainless steel construction provides moderate corrosion resistance and good hardness, making it suitable for environments with incidental moisture exposure. At 3/16 inches nominal diameter and 1/2 inch length, it is a common size for linkage connections, shaft-to-hub retention, and bracket alignment in both residential and commercial equipment assemblies.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows radial compression for secure press-fit installation without threads or fasteners
• 420 stainless steel construction offers moderate corrosion resistance and good surface hardness
• Bright finish for clean, consistent appearance and dimensional accuracy
• Fractional inch sizing at 3/16 inches diameter fits standard inch-system bores
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for inch-system mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.1875-inch diameter slotted spring pin.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Always power down and de-energize any equipment before servicing components that contain these pins. Ensure the receiving bore is clean, free of burrs, and dimensioned to the correct tolerance before driving the pin. Use a punch sized to the pin diameter to avoid deforming the slot during installation or removal.
