Value Collection A997853 Precision Dowel Pin 8mm 303 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A997853 is a precision dowel pin machined from Grade 303 stainless steel. It measures 8 mm in diameter with an overall length of 12 mm. One end is beveled and the opposite end is rounded, providing easy insertion and controlled seating during assembly. The pin is unhardened, making it suited for applications where precise alignment is required without the brittleness associated with hardened pins. Machinists, tool and die makers, and mechanical assemblers use this type of pin to locate and align mating components in fixtures, jigs, and fabricated assemblies.

This dowel pin is used in light-duty to medium-duty alignment and locating applications across manufacturing, maintenance, and fabrication environments. The Grade 303 stainless steel construction offers good corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for use in washdown environments or applications where mild chemical exposure is present. It is sold in a package quantity of 25 pins, which suits bench stock and small-batch production use.

Key Features

• Grade 303 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or mildly corrosive environments
• Unhardened material allows field modification such as drilling or grinding if needed
• One beveled end and one rounded end for guided insertion and flush or recessed seating
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0060 to 0.0150 mm for precise alignment in close-tolerance bores
• Package quantity of 25 supports bench stock replenishment and small-run production

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard stock dowel pin for use in machined fixtures, jigs, dies, and precision mechanical assemblies requiring an 8 mm diameter locating pin.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or mechanical assemblers. Ensure the receiving bore is reamed or drilled to the correct diameter and is free of burrs and debris before pressing or driving the pin. Depressurize and lock out any machinery before servicing assemblies containing dowel pins. A pin press or arbor press is the recommended tool for installation and removal to avoid damage to the pin or bore.
