Value Collection 241475BR Precision Dowel Pin 1x2.5in Alloy Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 241475BR is a precision dowel pin manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel, designed to locate, align, and retain mating components in assemblies that demand tight dimensional control. The pin measures 1 inch in diameter and 2-1/2 inches in overall length, with a diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches and a surface hardness of 50-58 HRC. One end is beveled for guided entry into a reamed hole, and the opposite end is rounded. These pins are installed by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance mechanics in high-load fixture, jig, and machine-component applications.

This dowel pin is suited for industrial assembly and maintenance applications where precise component alignment and resistance to shear forces are required. Conforming to ASME B18.8.2, it is appropriate for use in heavy-duty fixtures, dies, molds, and structural machine assemblies that require a standardized, interference-fit locating pin. The double-shear breaking strength of 204,000 pounds makes it well suited for high-stress load-bearing locations.

Key Features

• One beveled end for guided insertion; one rounded end for flush or recessed seating
• Conforms to ASME B18.8.2 dimensional and material standards
• Sold individually — Pkg Qty 1

Compatibility

Designed as an ASME B18.8.2 standard precision dowel pin for use in any application requiring a 1-inch-diameter, 2-1/2-inch-length alloy steel locating pin in a reamed or precision-bored hole.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins of this diameter are typically pressed or driven into reamed holes using an arbor press or hydraulic press — never struck directly with a hammer, which can damage the end geometry or distort the bore. Ensure the receiving hole is reamed to the correct tolerance for the intended fit class before installation. Degrease and inspect mating surfaces before assembly. Follow applicable shop safety and lockout/tagout procedures whenever working on machinery during pin installation or removal.
