Value Collection 241013PR Dowel Pin 1/16x7/16 Alloy Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 241013PR is a standard precision dowel pin designed for accurate alignment and location of mated components in mechanical assemblies. Machined from alloy steel to a tight diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches, this pin delivers consistent, repeatable fit in close-tolerance bores. The pin measures 1/16 inch in diameter and 7/16 inch in overall length, with one beveled end and one rounded end to aid insertion and seating. A hardness rating of 50-58 HRC provides resistance to deformation under load. It meets ASME B18.8.2 standards and carries a double-shear breaking strength of 800 pounds. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and precision fabricators are the primary installers of this fastener.

This dowel pin is suited for use in jigs, fixtures, molds, dies, and precision machine components where repeatable part-to-part alignment is required. Its compact 1/16-inch diameter makes it appropriate for tight-clearance applications in small assemblies, instrument housings, and precision tooling. The one-beveled, one-rounded end configuration is the standard layout for driven or press-fit installation into reamed holes. It is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Double-shear breaking strength: 800 pounds
• Conforms to ASME B18.8.2 standard for precision dowel pins

Compatibility

Designed as an ASME B18.8.2 standard precision dowel pin for use in any application requiring a 1/16-inch diameter, 7/16-inch length press-fit or slip-fit alignment pin in alloy steel.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins are typically installed by machinists or tool-and-die technicians using an arbor press or hammer and brass drift into reamed or ground bores. The receiving bore should be sized to the appropriate interference or slip-fit class per design requirements before installation. Ensure mating components are clean and free of burrs prior to driving the pin. Do not force a pin into an undersized or unreamed hole, as this can cause bore damage or pin fracture.
