Value Collection 241148PR Precision Dowel Pin 3/16x1-3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 241148PR is a precision dowel pin manufactured from alloy steel to Grade 8 material standards and conforming to ASME B18.8.2. The pin measures 3/16 inch in diameter and 1-3/4 inches in overall length, with one beveled end and one rounded end. Hardness is rated at 50-58 HRC, providing the wear resistance and shear strength required for precision location and alignment applications. Diameter tolerance is held to 0.0002 inches, supporting tight-fit assembly work in tooling, fixture, and mechanical component applications. This pin is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Precision dowel pins of this type are used in industrial and mechanical assembly applications where accurate part-to-part alignment must be maintained under load. Typical installations include jigs, dies, fixtures, molds, and machine components where positional repeatability is critical. The ASME B18.8.2 standard ensures dimensional consistency across production runs, making these pins suitable for replacement and maintenance work as well as new assembly.

Key Features

• Diameter held to 0.0002-inch tolerance for precise fit and repeatable location
• 50-58 HRC hardness for high wear resistance and resistance to deformation
• One beveled end and one rounded end for controlled insertion and seating
• Breaking strength rated at 7,200 units in double shear
• Conforms to ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standard
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high-strength applications

Compatibility

Designed for use in precision alignment and location applications conforming to ASME B18.8.2 specifications, including jigs, fixtures, dies, molds, and general mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/16-inch diameter dowel pin.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or mechanical assemblers using a press or mallet and a properly sized pilot hole reamed to the appropriate tolerance class. Ensure the receiving hole is clean and free of burrs before pressing the pin into position. Do not exceed the rated shear load in service. Follow applicable facility and equipment safety procedures when pressing hardened pins.
