Value Collection 241430BR Precision Dowel Pin Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 241430BR is a precision dowel pin manufactured from alloy steel to Grade 8 material specifications and ASME B18.8.2 standards. The pin measures 0.75 inches in diameter and 3.5 inches in overall length, with a diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for tight, repeatable locating performance. One end is beveled and the other is rounded, supporting clean insertion into blind or through holes. Hardness is rated at 50-58 HRC, providing the wear resistance required in demanding fixture, jig, and tooling applications. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance professionals install this pin where precise component alignment and shear strength are critical.

This dowel pin is suited for use in machine fixtures, precision assemblies, mold tooling, jig construction, and general industrial alignment applications where tight dimensional control is required. The 114,000-pound double-shear breaking strength makes it appropriate for high-load locating situations. It is packaged individually and sold in minimum order multiples of 10 units, making it appropriate for shop stock or repeat production builds.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision locating component for use in fixtures, jigs, molds, and mechanical assemblies requiring ASME B18.8.2 compliant dowel pins with a 0.75-inch nominal diameter.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins of this type are typically installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a press or mallet with an appropriate driver — never drive directly on the pin end without a proper punch to avoid damaging the finish or altering the tolerance. Ensure the receiving hole is reamed to the correct mating tolerance before installation. Deburr and clean the hole before pressing the pin to prevent galling on the alloy steel surface. Always relieve system load and de-energize or lock out any related machinery before installing or removing locating pins in production equipment.
