Value Collection 241424BR Dowel Pin 3/4x3 in Alloy Steel Gr8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 241424BR is a precision dowel pin manufactured from alloy steel to Grade 8 material specifications. It measures 3/4 inch in diameter and 3 inches in overall length. One end is beveled and the other is rounded, conforming to ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standards. Hardness is rated at 50-58 HRC, and the pin carries a double-shear breaking strength of 114,000 pounds. Diameter tolerance is held to 0.0002 inch, making this pin suitable for close-tolerance alignment and locating applications in machined assemblies. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working on precision fixtures, jigs, and mechanical assemblies are the typical installers.

This dowel pin is used in applications requiring accurate part-to-part alignment and repeatable positioning. The tight diameter tolerance and high hardness make it well suited for load-bearing locating functions in industrial machinery, tooling plates, and fabricated assemblies. The beveled end aids in guided insertion during assembly, while the rounded end supports use in through-hole or blind configurations. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins are typically installed by machinists or millwrights using a press or mallet with a suitable driver. Ensure the receiving bore is reamed to the correct tolerance before installation to avoid damaging the pin or bore surface. Never drive the pin with direct hammer strikes to the pin face. Confirm the bore and pin surfaces are clean and free of burrs before pressing to final depth.
