Value Collection 241304PR Precision Dowel Pin 7/16x1-3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 241304PR is a precision dowel pin manufactured from alloy steel to Grade 8 material standards and certified to ASME B18.8.2. It measures 7/16 inches in diameter and 1-3/4 inches in overall length. The pin carries a Rockwell hardness rating of 50-58 HRC and a double-shear breaking strength of 39,100 pounds, making it suitable for high-load alignment and locating applications. One end is beveled and one end is rounded per standard end-type configuration. Diameter tolerance is held to 0.0002 inches for precise fit in reamed holes. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

This dowel pin is used in machine assembly, tooling fixtures, die sets, and component alignment applications across manufacturing, industrial maintenance, and fabrication environments. The tight diameter tolerance and high hardness make it appropriate for press-fit or slip-fit installations where repeatable part positioning is required. It is suited for both light and heavy industrial assemblies where shear load capacity is a primary design concern.

Key Features

• Alloy steel construction with Grade 8 material rating for high-strength applications
• 50-58 HRC hardness for wear resistance and dimensional stability under load
• Double-shear breaking strength of 39,100 pounds
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for precision alignment and repeatable fit
• One beveled end and one rounded end per ASME B18.8.2 standard end-type configuration
• Meets ASME B18.8.2 fastener standard for precision dowel pins

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision locating pin for use in reamed holes in tooling fixtures, machine components, and fabricated assemblies requiring close-tolerance alignment to ASME B18.8.2 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation of precision dowel pins typically requires a reamed hole sized to the appropriate fit class for the application. Press-fit installations should use a pin press or arbor press — striking the pin with a hammer risks damage to the pin or workpiece. Confirm hole depth and clearance before driving the pin to full seating depth. Remove all chips and debris from the hole before installation to avoid galling or out-of-tolerance fit.
