Manufactured from alloy steel to Material Grade 8, this pin measures 3\/8 inch in diameter and 2 inches in overall length. It carries a hardness rating of 50-58 HRC and a double-shear breaking strength of 28,700 pounds, making it suitable for high-load positioning applications. Diameter tolerance is held to 0.0002 inches, ensuring consistent press-fit or slip-fit engagement. The pin features one beveled end and one rounded end per ASME B18.8.2 standards. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians install this type of pin in jigs, fixtures, dies, and precision machine components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis precision dowel pin is suited for industrial and manufacturing environments where tight dimensional control is required for part alignment and load transfer. Typical applications include fixture plates, mold components, press tooling, and machine frames where repeatable part registration is critical. The Grade 8 alloy steel construction handles demanding shear and compression loads encountered in production machinery and heavy tooling. This pin is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction, Material Grade 8 for high strength and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHardness of 50-58 HRC for durability under cyclic and impact loading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-shear breaking strength of 28,700 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for precision fit applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne beveled end and one rounded end for guided insertion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to ASME B18.8.2 fastener standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard ASME B18.8.2 precision dowel pin for use in jigs, fixtures, dies, molds, and mechanical assemblies requiring a 3\/8-inch diameter locating pin with a 2-inch length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrecision dowel pins are typically installed by machinists or millwrights using a press or arbor press for interference-fit applications, or by hand for slip-fit configurations. Clean and deburr the receiving bore before installation to prevent galling. Never drive a hardened pin with a steel hammer directly on the pin end, as this can damage the end geometry or the bore. Verify hole diameter and depth against pin tolerance before pressing to avoid seizing or bore damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Precision\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50-58 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBreaking Strength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 28,700 pounds (Double Shear)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: One Beveled, One Rounded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B18.8.2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31163203\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: SF043049\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51703174857010,"sku":"SF043049","price":13450.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2b25e370d8a70190ab02fcd1cf81c58c.jpg?v=1788415222","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-sf043049-precision-dowel-pin-3-8x2-in-alloy-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
