Value Collection 241124PR Precision Dowel Pin 3/16 X 5/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 241124PR is a precision dowel pin manufactured from alloy steel to Grade 8 specifications. The pin measures 3/16 inches in diameter and 5/8 inches in overall length, with a diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for tight, repeatable locating accuracy. One end is beveled and one end is rounded, conforming to ASME B18.8.2. Hardness is rated at 50-58 HRC, giving the pin the wear resistance needed for demanding alignment and fixturing applications. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians install these pins in jigs, fixtures, molds, and assemblies where precise component registration is critical.

This pin is suited for use in production machining environments, toolroom fixtures, die sets, and mechanical assemblies that require close-tolerance hole alignment. Its hardness and alloy steel construction make it appropriate for both light-duty and moderate-load locating duties. Breaking strength is rated at 7,200 pounds in double shear, providing a known load reference for engineers sizing pins into structural or load-bearing locating applications. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision locating pin for use in standard ASME B18.8.2 compliant through-holes and blind holes sized for a 3/16 inches nominal diameter press or slip fit.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins are typically installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using an arbor press or dead-blow mallet; never drive pins with an impact tool that can deform the pin or damage the bore. Ensure the receiving hole is clean, deburred, and sized to the appropriate fit class before installation. Confirm hole depth is sufficient for the full pin length before pressing to avoid bottoming damage. Removal should be performed with a proper punch to avoid bore damage or pin deformation.
