Measuring 0.375 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches in pin length, this pin features a bright finish and a hardness rating of Rockwell C 47-58 (core) with C 60 at the surface. One end is beveled and one end is rounded, which aids in installation and seating. The diameter tolerance is held to 0.0002 inches, making it suitable for close-tolerance fit applications in industrial, maintenance, and manufacturing environments. Licensed trades and maintenance professionals use these pins for fixture alignment, jig assembly, and component positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis dowel pin is suited for use in precision mechanical assemblies where consistent shear strength and tight dimensional control are required. Common applications include machine tool fixtures, hydraulic and pneumatic component alignment, and structural jig work. The Grade 8 alloy steel construction delivers high shear strength, rated at 16,550 pounds in single shear and 33,100 pounds in double shear, making it appropriate for demanding load-bearing alignment tasks in both shop and field environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 8 alloy steel construction for high shear strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle shear breaking strength of 16,550 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble shear breaking strength of 33,100 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface hardness of Rockwell C 60 with core hardness of C 47-58\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for close-tolerance fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne beveled end and one rounded end for easier installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright finish for corrosion resistance in standard shop conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation dowel pin for use in precision mechanical assemblies requiring 0.375-inch diameter Grade 8 alloy steel pins with a 1.5-inch pin length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance mechanics using a pin press or dead-blow mallet and appropriate driver tooling. Always ensure the receiving bore is clean, deburred, and dimensionally verified before pressing the pin. Power down and de-energize any associated machinery before servicing pin-aligned components. Do not use impact tools that may damage the pin or distort the bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore Hardness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rockwell C 47-58\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurface Hardness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rockwell C 60\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle Shear Breaking Strength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16,550 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDouble Shear Breaking Strength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 33,100 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 Beveled, 1 Rounded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BD40098\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51689592717618,"sku":"BD40098","price":20.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1387a1cbc85e69f037e155e448d18e22_5fa227d0-52fe-4e89-96fe-1ddbdf8e12e0.jpg?v=1788261537","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-bd40098-grade-8-alloy-steel-dowel-pin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
