Value Collection 245163PS Precision Dowel Pin SS316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 245163PS is a precision dowel pin manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It measures 0.25 inches in diameter and 0.75 inches in overall length, with a beveled end and a tight diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches. Conforming to ASME B18.8.2, this pin is designed to locate and align mating components with high positional accuracy. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians install these pins in fixtures, jigs, and assemblies where consistent, repeatable part alignment is required.

Grade 316 stainless steel provides good corrosion resistance, making this pin suitable for use in wet environments, food processing equipment, marine applications, and chemical handling assemblies. The beveled end aids in guided insertion during assembly or press-fit installation. Its small form factor makes it appropriate for precision work across a range of industrial and mechanical applications where standard carbon steel pins would be at risk of corrosion or staining.

Key Features

• Diameter: 0.25 inches with a tight tolerance of plus or minus 0.0002 inches for precision alignment
• Overall length: 0.75 inches
• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Beveled end for guided insertion and easier assembly
• Bright, uncoated finish — no additional coating to affect dimensional accuracy
• Conforms to ASME B18.8.2 standard for precision dowel pins

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision locating pin for use in fixtures, jigs, dies, and mechanical assemblies requiring ASME B18.8.2 compliant dowel pins in a 0.25-inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins are typically installed by machinists or mechanical technicians using a press or mallet with an appropriate driver — never strike the pin directly with a metal hammer. Ensure receiving holes are reamed to the correct tolerance before installation to avoid galling or seizing, particularly with stainless steel pins. Disable all machine power and relieve any hydraulic or pneumatic pressure in the assembly before servicing pinned components.
