Value Collection 241007PR Precision Dowel Pin Alloy Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 241007PR is a precision dowel pin manufactured from alloy steel to Grade 8 material standards and certified to ASME B18.8.2. The pin measures 0.0625 inches in diameter and 0.3125 inches in overall length, with a diameter tolerance of plus or minus 0.0002 inches. One end is beveled and the opposite end is rounded, which aids controlled insertion and alignment in close-tolerance assemblies. Hardness runs 50 to 58 HRC, and double shear breaking strength is rated at 800 pounds. This pin is installed by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics working on precision assemblies.

Precision dowel pins like the 241007PR are used to locate, align, and register mating components in fixtures, dies, jigs, machine bases, and assemblies where positional repeatability is critical. The small diameter and short length suit applications in compact mechanisms, instrument housings, and light industrial assemblies where a standard-size pin would not fit. The alloy steel construction and high HRC hardness rating make it suitable for repeated engagement and withdrawal without measurable wear to the pin itself.

Key Features

• ASME B18.8.2 certified precision dowel pin for close-tolerance alignment applications
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction with 50 to 58 HRC hardness
• Double shear breaking strength of 800 pounds
• Diameter tolerance of plus or minus 0.0002 inches for repeatable press or slip fits
• One beveled end and one rounded end for controlled insertion and seating

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision locating pin for use in fixtures, tooling, dies, and machine assemblies requiring ASME B18.8.2 compliant dowel pins at 0.0625 inches nominal diameter.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins are typically pressed or driven into reamed holes by machinists or mechanical assemblers using an arbor press or a dead-blow mallet with a proper driver. Always verify hole diameter and surface finish against pin tolerance before installation to avoid galling or bore damage. Do not hammer pins directly without a driver to prevent end deformation. Removal should be performed with a pin punch sized to the pin diameter to protect the bore.
