Value Collection R63098169 Slotted Spring Pin 420 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63098169 is a slotted spring pin designed for use in mechanical assemblies where a removable, load-bearing fastener is needed. The slotted design allows the pin to compress during installation and expand against the bore wall to hold position without adhesives or threads. Made from Grade 420 stainless steel with a bright finish, this pin measures 0.1875 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches in length. It is commonly installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers working on light to medium-duty equipment requiring corrosion-resistant fasteners.

This pin suits residential and commercial mechanical applications where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary environments. Typical uses include shaft alignment, hinge pinning, linkage assemblies, and component registration on equipment, fixtures, and tooling. The Grade 420 stainless steel base material offers moderate corrosion resistance and reasonable hardness, making it appropriate for environments with occasional moisture exposure. No specific compatible equipment model is listed in the available product data.

Key Features

• Slotted spring design compresses for installation and locks in bore on expansion
• Grade 420 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or mildly caustic environments
• Bright finish for clean appearance and dimensional consistency
• 0.1875 inch diameter with 2.5 inch overall length for medium-reach fastening tasks
• Inch measurement system — fits standard inch-dimension bores and tooling
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-duty slotted spring pin for commercial and industrial mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.1875 inch diameter, 2.5 inch long inch-system fastener in Grade 420 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation typically requires a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press sized to the pin diameter. The mating bore should be deburred and dimensionally verified before driving the pin to avoid permanent bore damage or pin deformation. Always wear eye protection when driving spring pins. Removal is performed using a punch driven against one end of the pin while supporting the workpiece to prevent part damage.
