Value Collection 241115PR Precision Dowel Pin 1/8 X 1-3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 241115PR is a precision dowel pin designed for accurate alignment and positioning in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from alloy steel to Grade 8 material specification, it measures 1/8 inch in diameter and 1-3/4 inches in overall length. The pin holds a hardness of 50-58 HRC, delivering the wear resistance and shear strength required in demanding production and maintenance environments. With a diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches, this pin meets the close-fit requirements of precision hole alignments. One end is beveled for ease of insertion and the other end is rounded. Installation is performed by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working on jigs, fixtures, dies, and assembled machine components.

This dowel pin is suited for use in metalworking, manufacturing, and industrial maintenance applications where repeatable part-to-part alignment is critical. Typical install scenarios include fixture plates, mold and die assemblies, machine bases, and any bolted assembly requiring precise hole-to-hole registration. The ASME B18.8.2 fastener standard governs the dimensional and tolerance requirements for this pin, making it appropriate wherever that specification is called out on an engineering drawing or bill of materials.

Key Features

• Alloy steel construction, Grade 8 material for high strength and durability
• 50-58 HRC hardness for wear and shear resistance in close-tolerance applications
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for precision fit in reamed holes
• One beveled end and one rounded end for controlled insertion and seating
• Breaking strength of 3,200 pounds in double shear
• Conforms to ASME B18.8.2 fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision alignment component for mechanical assemblies requiring a 1/8-inch diameter precision dowel pin conforming to ASME B18.8.2.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins are installed by machinists and millwrights using a press or mallet into reamed holes sized to the appropriate interference or slip fit per engineering specification. Always confirm hole diameter and finish before pressing to avoid galling or pin damage. Power down and de-energize all equipment before servicing any assembly that contains dowel pins under load. Do not substitute a precision dowel pin with a standard drive pin or roll pin where ASME B18.8.2 tolerances are required by design.
