Value Collection 245124PR Precision Dowel Pin 3/16 X 5/8 in Ss 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 245124PR is a precision dowel pin manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Measuring 3/16 inch in diameter and 5/8 inch in overall length, this pin is produced to ASME B18.8.2 standards, ensuring consistent dimensional accuracy across every piece. The beveled end type allows for easier insertion into mating bores during assembly. A diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inch makes this pin suitable for close-tolerance locating and alignment applications where positional repeatability is critical. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians install these pins in fixtures, dies, jigs, and mechanical assemblies.

Precision dowel pins of this type are used across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, including machine tool fixtures, mold and die alignment, hydraulic manifold assemblies, and general mechanical component positioning. Grade 316 stainless steel offers improved corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304, making this pin a practical choice for applications exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or wash-down environments. These pins are sold as a single unit per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

• Compact 3/16 x 5/8 inch size suitable for small-footprint fixture and assembly work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision locating component for use in fixtures, jigs, dies, and mechanical assemblies requiring ASME B18.8.2 compliant dowel pins in 3/16 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins are typically pressed or driven into reamed holes by machinists or toolmakers using an arbor press or a soft-faced mallet to avoid deforming the pin or bore. Always verify that the mating bore diameter and surface finish meet the tolerance requirements called out on the assembly drawing before installation. Never force a pin into an undersized or unprepared bore. Inspect pins for burrs or damage before use, as surface defects can affect locational accuracy and make removal difficult.
