Value Collection R63098060 Slotted Spring Pin 420 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63098060 is a slotted spring pin designed for precision fastening applications requiring reliable radial tension and resistance to corrosion. Manufactured from 420 stainless steel with a bright finish, this pin measures 3 inches in overall length and 3/8 inch in diameter. The slotted design allows the pin to compress during insertion and exert a consistent outward spring force against the bore wall, creating a secure, vibration-resistant connection. It is installed by maintenance technicians and millwrights across industrial, mechanical, and trade applications where stainless steel is required for corrosion resistance or hygiene compliance.

This slotted spring pin is suited for use in mechanical assemblies, manufacturing fixtures, and equipment maintenance scenarios where a removable or semi-permanent pin retention method is needed. The 420 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moderate corrosion exposure, including food-adjacent equipment, marine hardware, and general industrial machinery. The bright finish indicates a clean, uncoated surface consistent with close-tolerance bore fitment.

Key Features

• 420 stainless steel construction provides moderate corrosion resistance and good hardness
• Bright finish supports close-tolerance bore fitment
• Slotted design delivers consistent radial spring force upon insertion
• 3 inches overall length accommodates deeper assemblies and thicker component stacks
• 3/8 inch diameter for standard bore sizing in mechanical assemblies
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard imperial tooling and gauging

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fitment slotted spring pin for mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/8 inch diameter, 3 inch long pin in an imperial measurement system.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by maintenance technicians or millwrights using a pin punch and hammer or a hydraulic press, depending on bore fit and assembly access. De-energize and lock out any equipment before pin removal or installation. Ensure the bore diameter is within the specified tolerance range for the pin diameter before driving to avoid deforming the pin or damaging the bore. Do not reuse a pin that has been permanently deformed or shows signs of cracking at the slot.
