Value Collection A997816 Precision Dowel Pin 3x30mm Ss 303

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A997816 is a precision dowel pin machined from Grade 303 stainless steel. It measures 3 millimeters in diameter and 30 millimeters in overall length, with a diameter tolerance of 0.0040 to 0.0120 millimeters for close-tolerance location and alignment applications. One end is beveled and one end is rounded, making it easy to press or drive into bored holes without chamfering work on the mating part. The pin is unhardened, which allows it to be cut or modified in the field when necessary. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and mechanical assemblers typically install this type of component.

This dowel pin is suited for use in jigs, fixtures, dies, and precision mechanical assemblies where accurate part-to-part alignment is required. The Grade 303 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments, making it appropriate for food-processing equipment frames, marine hardware assemblies, and general industrial machinery. It is sold in packages of 50 units, making it practical for production runs or shop stock replenishment. The unhardened condition is typical for alignment dowels that do not carry shear loads in high-cycle or high-impact applications.

Key Features

• Grade 303 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments
• 3 mm diameter with a close tolerance of 0.0040 to 0.0120 mm for precision location fits
• 30 mm overall length suits standard fixture and die alignment applications
• One beveled end and one rounded end for guided press-fit installation without additional prep work
• Unhardened condition allows field modification by cutting or grinding
• Packaged in quantities of 50 for production and shop-stock use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or production-use precision dowel pin for jigs, fixtures, dies, and mechanical assemblies requiring a 3 mm diameter close-tolerance location pin in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install using a press, arbor press, or light mallet with a properly sized pilot drift to avoid deforming the pin or galling the bore. The receiving hole should be finish-reamed to the appropriate tolerance class before installation. De-energize or lock out any powered equipment before servicing assemblies that contain dowel pins. Do not use this unhardened pin in applications subject to high shear loads or high-cycle impact without engineering review.
