Value Collection 245022PR Precision Dowel Pin 1/16x3/4 Ss 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 245022PR is a precision dowel pin manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It measures 1/16 inch in diameter and 3/4 inch in overall length, with a beveled end type that aids in alignment and insertion. The pin conforms to ASME B18.8.2, the standard governing precision dowel pins in industrial and mechanical applications. Diameter tolerance is held to 0.0002 inches, making this pin suitable for tight-fit locating and alignment work. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians install these pins to accurately position components in fixtures, dies, molds, and assemblies.

This pin is appropriate for use in precision machining and fabrication environments where corrosion resistance is a priority alongside dimensional accuracy. Grade 316 stainless steel provides improved resistance to chloride and chemical environments compared to Grade 304, making it a common choice in food processing, marine, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing applications. The beveled end reduces the force required to press or drive the pin into a reamed hole, streamlining assembly in production and repair settings. This item is sold individually but requires a minimum order of 100 pieces.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for precise locating and repeatable alignment
• Beveled end type for easier insertion into reamed holes
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency without coating buildup
• Conforms to ASME B18.8.2 for standardized fitment across compatible tooling and fixtures
• Compact 1/16 x 3/4 inch size suitable for small-component and fine-tolerance assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an ASME B18.8.2 precision dowel pin for use in standard reamed holes requiring a 1/16-inch diameter locating or alignment pin in corrosion-resistant stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins are installed by machinists or toolmakers using a press or pin driver into a reamed hole sized to ASME B18.8.2 tolerances. The receiving hole should be clean, free of burrs, and dimensionally verified before installation. Avoid hammering directly on the pin face without a proper driver to prevent surface damage that could affect fitment. Follow applicable facility safety and lockout/tagout procedures when installing pins in powered machinery or fixtures.
