Value Collection 241133PR Precision Dowel Pin 3/16x1 in Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 241133PR is a precision dowel pin manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel to ASME B18.8.2 standards. This pin measures 3/16 inch in diameter and 1 inch in overall length, with a tightly controlled diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for accurate press-fit or slip-fit alignment applications. One end is beveled and one end is rounded, making installation and removal straightforward. The hardness rating of 50 to 58 HRC gives this pin the wear resistance needed for repeated assembly cycles. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians use these pins to align fixtures, dies, jigs, and machine components where precise positional repeatability is required.

This dowel pin is suited for use in manufacturing, tooling, and mechanical assembly environments where tight tolerances and high shear strength matter. The double-shear breaking strength of 7,200 pounds supports demanding load conditions in both production and maintenance settings. At 0.01 pounds per unit, the pin is lightweight but built to hold alignment under cyclic loading. Applications include press tooling, mold alignment, machine bases, and fixture plates across general industrial and metalworking operations.

Key Features

• ASME B18.8.2 standard compliance for dimensional consistency and interchangeability
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction with 50 to 58 HRC hardness for wear and shear resistance
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches supports precision fit conditions
• Double-shear breaking strength of 7,200 pounds for high-load alignment tasks
• One beveled end and one rounded end for guided installation and easy extraction
• Compact 3/16 x 1 inch size fits standard tooling and fixture plate applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation precision dowel pin for fixtures, dies, jigs, and machine components requiring a 3/16 inch diameter pin conforming to ASME B18.8.2.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins are typically installed by machinists or toolmakers using an arbor press or mallet with a properly sized punch. De-energize and lock out all equipment before servicing any assembly that incorporates these pins. Verify hole tolerances and surface finish prior to installation to achieve the intended fit class. Do not drive pins into undersized holes without verifying bore diameter, as this can crack the workpiece or distort the pin.
