Value Collection 245046PR Precision Dowel Pin 3/32 X 1/4 in Ss 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 245046PR is a precision dowel pin manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Measuring 3/32 inch in diameter and 1/4 inch in overall length, this pin meets ASME B18.8.2 standards for precision dowel pins and holds a diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches. Both ends are beveled to ease alignment and insertion during assembly. This pin is used in applications where precise, repeatable part location is required and where corrosion resistance is a priority. Machinists, tool and die makers, and mechanical assemblers are the primary installers.

Precision dowel pins of this type are used across a wide range of industrial, manufacturing, and mechanical assembly applications. The 3/32-inch diameter and 1/4-inch length make this pin well suited for small fixtures, jigs, dies, and close-tolerance assemblies. Grade 316 stainless steel provides superior resistance to corrosion and oxidation compared to standard 18-8 stainless, making it appropriate for wet, chemical, or marine environments. The bright finish indicates no additional coating or plating has been applied, preserving the dimensional tolerances established during manufacture.

Key Features

• Diameter: 3/32 inch with a tolerance of 0.0002 inches for precise fitment
• Overall length: 1/4 inch
• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for enhanced corrosion resistance
• Beveled ends for easier alignment and insertion
• Bright, uncoated finish preserves as-manufactured dimensional accuracy
• Meets ASME B18.8.2 precision dowel pin standard

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision dowel pin for use in close-tolerance mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and dies requiring a 3/32-inch diameter locating pin conforming to ASME B18.8.2.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins are typically installed by machinists or mechanical assemblers using a press, mallet, or arbor press into reamed or precision-drilled holes. Ensure the mating hole is clean, properly sized, and free of burrs before installation. Applying light lubrication to the pin can ease insertion and reduce galling, particularly in stainless-to-stainless contact situations. Minimum order quantity for this pin is 100 units.
