Value Collection 241001PR Precision Dowel Pin Alloy Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 241001PR is a precision dowel pin machined from alloy steel to Grade 8 specifications and rated to ASME B18.8.2. It measures 1/16 inch in diameter by 3/16 inch in overall length, with a diameter tolerance of plus or minus 0.0002 inches for tight, repeatable fit. One end is beveled and one end is rounded, supporting easy insertion into blind or through holes. The pin carries a hardness rating of 50-58 HRC and a double-shear breaking strength of 800 pounds. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and assembly line technicians install this part in precision fixturing, jig alignment, and component locating applications.

This dowel pin is suited for precision alignment work in manufacturing, tooling, and mechanical assembly environments where consistent hole-to-hole registration is critical. The ASME B18.8.2 standard governs its dimensional and tolerance requirements, making it a direct fit for applications that call out this specification. The minimum order quantity is 100 pieces, and the part ships in single-unit packaging increments. Typical end users include machine shops, production facilities, and maintenance departments working with close-tolerance assemblies.

Key Features

• Alloy steel construction with Grade 8 material classification for high-strength applications
• 50-58 HRC surface hardness for wear resistance in tight-tolerance bores
• Double-shear breaking strength of 800 pounds
• Diameter tolerance of plus or minus 0.0002 inches for precision fitment
• One beveled end and one rounded end for guided insertion
• Conforms to ASME B18.8.2 fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision locating pin for use in mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and tooling that specify a 1/16-inch diameter dowel to ASME B18.8.2.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins are typically installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using an arbor press or light mallet with a brass drift to avoid damaging the pin or bore finish. Always verify hole diameter and surface finish meet ASME B18.8.2 tolerances before pressing the pin. De-energize and lock out any machinery before performing alignment or fixturing work involving these pins. Do not attempt to drive pins into undersized holes, as this can crack the bore or deform the pin.
