Value Collection 245133PR Precision Dowel Pin 3/16x1 in Ss 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 245133PR is a precision dowel pin manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish and beveled ends. Conforming to ASME B18.8.2, this pin measures 3/16 inches in diameter and 1 inch in overall length, held to a tight diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches. It is designed for use in alignment, locating, and retention applications where close-tolerance fit and corrosion resistance are required. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians working in food processing, marine, chemical, or other corrosive environments will find the 316 alloy construction appropriate for demanding conditions.

This dowel pin suits precision alignment tasks in fixtures, jigs, molds, and mechanical assemblies across industrial and manufacturing environments. The beveled end design aids insertion into close-tolerance bored holes. The ASME B18.8.2 standard governs dimensional and tolerance requirements, making this pin suitable for controlled-fit applications where repeatability and positional accuracy are critical. It is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet, marine, or chemical environments
• Tight diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for reliable close-fit alignment
• Beveled end facilitates clean, controlled insertion into precision-bored holes
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional integrity without added coating thickness
• Conforms to ASME B18.8.2 for standardized dimensional compliance
• Compact 3/16 x 1 inch size suits space-constrained fixture and assembly applications

Compatibility

Designed as an ASME B18.8.2-compliant precision dowel pin for use in bored holes requiring a 3/16-inch diameter close-tolerance fit in fixtures, jigs, molds, and mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins should be installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using properly sized reamers to prepare receiving holes to the required tolerance. Power down and de-energize any associated equipment before servicing assemblies containing dowel pins. Avoid driving pins with impact tools that may cause galling or deformation of the pin shank. Verify hole depth and alignment before pressing to prevent pin damage or bore distortion.
