Value Collection R63096960 Slotted Spring Pin 420 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63096960 is a slotted spring pin made from Grade 420 stainless steel with a bright finish. It measures 0.2188 inches (7/32 inch) in diameter and 1 inch in overall length. Slotted spring pins are radially compressed during installation and exert outward spring tension against the hole wall to resist vibration-induced loosening. This makes them well suited for assemblies that experience dynamic loads, shock, or repeated movement. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals use these pins in mechanical subassemblies across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

This pin is appropriate for use in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance is a consideration. Grade 420 stainless steel offers moderate hardness combined with better corrosion resistance than carbon steel, making it a practical choice for environments with moisture exposure or where cleanliness standards apply. The bright finish is suitable for general-purpose use. These pins are sold individually but require a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making them appropriate for production runs, maintenance kits, or shop stock replenishment.

Key Features

• Grade 420 stainless steel construction provides moderate corrosion resistance and good hardness for spring-pin applications
• Bright finish for general-purpose industrial use
• Slotted design allows radial compression on insertion and maintains holding force through spring tension
• Inch-system sizing: 7/32 inch (0.2188 inches) diameter by 1 inch length
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial applications
• Sold per piece with a minimum order quantity of 100 units

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series slotted spring pin for general mechanical assembly applications requiring a 7/32 inch diameter hole. Verify hole diameter and material stack thickness against pin diameter and length before installation.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by maintenance technicians and machinists using a pin punch and hammer or a press. Ensure the receiving hole is drilled to the correct tolerance for the nominal pin diameter before driving the pin. Do not reuse a spring pin that has been removed, as cycling degrades the spring tension. Wear eye protection when driving pins to guard against fragmentation or ejection.
