Value Collection SF043033 Precision Dowel Pin 1/4x1.5in Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SF043033 is a precision dowel pin manufactured from alloy steel to Grade 8 material specifications and conforming to ASME B18.8.2. It measures 1/4 inch in diameter and 1-1/2 inches in overall length, with a diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for accurate locating and alignment applications. The pin features one beveled end and one rounded end. Hardness is rated at 50-58 HRC, and double-shear breaking strength is 12,800 pounds. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians install these pins to precisely locate and align mating components in fixtures, jigs, dies, and assemblies.

Precision dowel pins of this type are used in industrial manufacturing, tooling, and mechanical assembly environments. They are suited for applications requiring tight dimensional control and repeatable part positioning. The 1/4-inch diameter and 1-1/2-inch length make this pin a common choice for medium-duty fixture alignment, mold and die alignment, and machine component registration in both production and maintenance settings.

Key Features

• Alloy steel construction, Grade 8 material rating for high strength and durability
• 50-58 HRC hardness for wear resistance in precision locating applications
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for close-fit alignment
• Double-shear breaking strength of 12,800 pounds
• One beveled end and one rounded end per ASME B18.8.2

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision locating pin for use in fixtures, jigs, dies, molds, and mechanical assemblies requiring a 1/4-inch diameter precision dowel to ASME B18.8.2 standards.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins are installed by machinists and tool and die technicians using a press or mallet with a suitable driver. De-energize and lock out all equipment before installing or removing pins in live machinery. Confirm hole diameter and finish meet ASME B18.8.2 tolerances for the intended fit class before pressing the pin into place. Do not exceed the rated double-shear breaking strength in service.
