Value Collection R63096641 Slotted Spring Pin 420 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63096641 is a slotted spring pin designed for use in mechanical assemblies where a compressed, self-retaining fastener is required. Measuring 0.1875 inches in diameter and 1 inch in overall length, this pin is manufactured from 420 stainless steel with a bright finish. The slotted design allows the pin to compress on insertion and exert outward spring pressure against the bore wall, creating a secure, vibration-resistant fit without the need for additional hardware. Machinists, maintenance mechanics, and assembly technicians working with inch-measurement components will find this pin a standard-fit solution for a wide range of retention and alignment applications.

This slotted spring pin is suited for use in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies across industrial, commercial, and OEM manufacturing environments. The 420 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and adequate hardness for applications where carbon steel pins would be susceptible to oxidation or mild chemical exposure. Typical uses include shaft-to-hub retention, hinge pin applications, and component alignment in assemblies that see moderate dynamic load or vibration.

Key Features

• Slotted spring design compresses on insertion for a self-retaining, vibration-resistant fit
• 0.1875 inches (3/16 inch) diameter in the inch measurement system
• 1 inch overall length for standard-depth bore applications
• Grade 420 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance over carbon steel alternatives
• Bright finish for dimensional consistency and ease of inspection
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for inch-system mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.1875-inch diameter bore and 1-inch pin length. Confirm bore diameter and depth tolerances against the assembly drawing before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance mechanics or precision assembly technicians using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Ensure the receiving bore is clean, free of burrs, and sized to the correct tolerance before driving the pin. Always de-energize and lock out any machinery before servicing components containing spring pins. Do not reuse a slotted spring pin that has been removed, as repeated compression cycles reduce retention force.
