Value Collection R63098482 Slotted Spring Pin 420 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63098482 is a slotted spring pin designed for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a reliable, self-retaining fastener. Measuring 0.375 inches in diameter and 2 inches in length, this pin is manufactured from Grade 420 stainless steel with a bright finish. The slotted design allows the pin to compress during installation and exert radial force against the bore wall, creating a secure fit without adhesives or secondary fasteners. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working on industrial or commercial equipment commonly install this type of pin in shaft, clevis, and alignment applications.

This slotted spring pin is suited for use in general mechanical assemblies where a corrosion-resistant fastener is required. The 420 stainless steel construction provides moderate corrosion resistance along with higher hardness compared to austenitic stainless grades, making it appropriate for applications involving wear or mild chemical exposure. It is measured in the inch system and does not meet military specifications. Typical uses include alignment pins, hinge pins, and locking pins in equipment maintained by industrial technicians and tradespeople.

Key Features

• Slotted spring pin design compresses on installation for a self-retaining, interference fit
• Grade 420 stainless steel offers elevated hardness and moderate corrosion resistance
• Bright finish provides a clean surface condition for close-tolerance bore applications
• 0.375 inches (3/8 inch) diameter in the standard inch measurement system
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for general commercial and industrial mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.375 inch diameter, 2 inch long corrosion-resistant pin in inch-system applications.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press; ensure the bore diameter is within the recommended tolerance for the pin diameter before driving. De-energize and lock out any machinery before servicing assemblies containing these pins. Remove the old pin using a punch of appropriate diameter to avoid bore damage. Inspect the bore for wear or deformation prior to installing the replacement pin.
