Value Collection A997850 Precision Dowel Pin 6x36mm Ss 303

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A997850 is a precision dowel pin used to align, locate, and fasten components in machined assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 303 stainless steel, this pin offers good corrosion resistance and machinability in moderate service environments. It measures 6 mm in diameter with an overall length of 36 mm and is supplied unhardened. One end is beveled and one end is rounded, making insertion and removal straightforward during assembly and teardown. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and mechanical assemblers typically install this type of pin in jigs, fixtures, and precision-fit applications where consistent hole registration is required.

This dowel pin is suited for use in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or hygiene requirements. Typical applications include fixture plates, die sets, machine frames, and food-processing or pharmaceutical equipment where steel alloys with low magnetic permeability and moderate chemical resistance are preferred. The unhardened condition makes the pin easier to machine to final fit on-site if needed. Each package contains 10 pins.

Key Features

• Grade 303 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and easy machining
• 6 mm diameter with a diameter tolerance of 0.0060 to 0.0150 mm for precision fit
• 36 mm overall length suits a wide range of fixture and assembly depths
• One beveled end and one rounded end for easy installation and controlled seating
• Unhardened — can be machined or adjusted to final fit in the field
• Sold in a package of 10 pins

Compatibility

Designed as a standard precision dowel pin for use in machined bores requiring a 6 mm nominal diameter locating or alignment pin in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins are typically pressed or driven into reamed holes by machinists or mechanical assemblers using an arbor press or mallet with a brass drift. Ensure the receiving bore is clean, deburred, and within tolerance before installation to avoid galling, which is a common risk with stainless-to-stainless contact. Do not force an oversized pin into an undersized bore, as this can damage both the pin and the bore. Follow the assembly drawing tolerances for clearance or interference fit as specified by the design engineer.
