Value Collection R63098284 Slotted Spring Pin 420 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63098284 is a slotted spring pin designed for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a reliable, compressible fastener. The slotted design allows the pin to compress during installation and exert radial pressure against the bore wall, creating a secure fit without adhesives or secondary locking features. Manufactured from 420 stainless steel with a bright finish, this pin offers good corrosion resistance and moderate hardness. It measures 3/4 inch in overall length and 3/8 inch in diameter. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install these pins in shafts, housings, and structural assemblies across a wide range of industrial applications.

Slotted spring pins are used in both light-duty and medium-duty mechanical assemblies where alignment, retention, or pivot functions are required. Common install scenarios include shaft-to-hub connections, hinge points, clevis pins, and component alignment in manufactured assemblies. The 420 stainless steel construction makes this pin suitable for environments with moderate moisture exposure or mild corrosive conditions where carbon steel would be less appropriate. This pin follows inch-system dimensions and is sized for standard 3/8 inch bore applications.

Key Features

• Slotted spring design compresses on installation for a secure radial interference fit
• 420 stainless steel construction provides moderate corrosion resistance and good hardness
• Bright finish for consistent surface quality and dimensional accuracy
• 3/4 inch overall length suits compact mechanical assemblies
• 3/8 inch diameter fits standard inch-series bores
• Does not meet military specifications — suitable for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or replacement slotted spring pin for standard inch-series mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/8 inch diameter, 3/4 inch long slotted pin in 420 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press; always support the workpiece to avoid damage to the bore or surrounding material. Power down and de-energize any equipment before servicing components that contain spring pins. Avoid reusing heavily deformed pins, as repeated compression cycles can reduce clamping force and lead to loosening. Follow applicable machinery safety standards and manufacturer assembly procedures for the host equipment.
