Value Collection 245127PS Precision Dowel Pin 3/16x3/4 Ss 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 245127PS is a precision dowel pin designed for accurate alignment and location of mated components in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this pin measures 3/16 inch in diameter and 3/4 inch in overall length. It conforms to ASME B18.8.2, the standard governing precision dowel pins, and carries a tight diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches. Both ends are beveled for clean, controlled insertion into reamed or precision-drilled holes. This type of fastener is commonly installed by machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance mechanics in manufacturing and production environments.

Precision dowel pins like the 245127PS are used wherever repeatable part alignment is critical — jigs, fixtures, mold tooling, machine bases, and assembly fixtures in both light and heavy manufacturing. The stainless steel construction makes this pin well-suited for applications involving moisture exposure, corrosive media, or environments where carbon steel hardware is not appropriate. The bright finish leaves the pin in a dimensionally clean, as-drawn condition without any coating buildup that could affect fit.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for tight, repeatable press or slip fits
• Beveled ends for guided entry into precision holes
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating thickness variation affecting fit
• Conforms to ASME B18.8.2 standard for precision dowel pins
• Compact 3/16 x 3/4 inch geometry suitable for space-constrained assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.8.2 precision dowel pin for use in any fixture, jig, tooling, or mechanical assembly requiring a 3/16 inch diameter precision alignment pin in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins require a mating hole reamed or bored to the correct tolerance class for the intended fit — press, push, or slide. Power down and de-energize all equipment before servicing or disassembling any assembly containing dowel pins. Use a pin press or arbor press for installation and removal; never strike the pin directly with a hammer, as this can damage the pin geometry or the mating bore. Verify hole depth is sufficient to accept the full pin length before pressing.
