Value Collection A997852 Precision Dowel Pin 6mm X 50mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A997852 is a precision dowel pin machined from Grade 303 stainless steel. It measures 6 millimeters in diameter with an overall length of 50 millimeters. One end is beveled and the other end is rounded, providing easy insertion and positive location in mating bores. The pin is unhardened, making it well suited for applications where light to moderate shear loads are present and corrosion resistance takes priority. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics install these pins to align fixtures, jigs, machine components, and assemblies where repeatable positioning is required.

This dowel pin is used in general industrial, manufacturing, and MRO applications where stainless steel is preferred over carbon steel for its corrosion resistance. Typical uses include fixture building, die alignment, and component registration on production equipment in food processing, chemical handling, and marine environments where mild acids or moisture are present. The Grade 303 alloy offers good machinability and is widely used in precision turned components. Each package contains 10 pins.

Key Features

• Grade 303 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments
• One beveled end and one rounded end for guided insertion and flush or countersunk seating
• Unhardened material allows field trimming or light machining if needed
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0060 to 0.0150 millimeters for precise fit in reamed or ground bores
• Packaged in quantities of 10 for bench stock and MRO stocking convenience

Compatibility

Designed as a standard precision dowel pin for use in fixtures, jigs, and machine assemblies requiring a 6-millimeter diameter location pin in a reamed or ground through-hole or blind bore.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins are typically pressed or lightly driven into reamed holes by a machinist or maintenance mechanic using a pin press or soft-face mallet. The receiving bore should be reamed to the appropriate tolerance to achieve the desired fit class before installation. Inspect the bore and pin for burrs or contamination before driving. Do not attempt to force the pin into an undersized hole, as this can fracture the pin or distort the bore.
