Value Collection SF043064 Precision Dowel Pin 5/8x1-1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SF043064 is a precision dowel pin designed for accurate alignment and location of mating components in machined assemblies. Manufactured from alloy steel to Material Grade 8, this pin measures 5/8 inch in diameter and 1-1/2 inches in overall length, with a tight diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches to ensure a controlled press or slip fit. The pin features one beveled end and one rounded end, conforming to ASME B18.8.2, and carries a Rockwell hardness of 50-58 HRC for resistance to shear and wear under load. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians install these pins in jigs, fixtures, dies, and production tooling.

This dowel pin suits a wide range of industrial and manufacturing applications where repeatable, tight-tolerance alignment is required. Typical use cases include fixturing for CNC machining operations, alignment of die sets, assembly jigs, and structural component registration in both light and heavy fabrication environments. The Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides a double-shear breaking strength of 79,800 pounds, making it suitable for high-load applications where pin failure cannot be tolerated. Sold individually; minimum order quantity is 10 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for repeatable press or slip fits in machined bores
• 50-58 HRC hardness rating for resistance to shear stress and surface wear
• Double-shear breaking strength of 79,800 pounds for high-load alignment applications
• One beveled end and one rounded end for guided insertion and flush or recessed seating
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for durability in demanding tooling and fixture environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and aftermarket replacement precision dowel pin for machined assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and die sets requiring a 5/8-inch diameter pin conforming to ASME B18.8.2.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins of this type are installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using an arbor press or dead-blow mallet; the bore receiving the pin must be reamed to the appropriate tolerance class before installation. Always degrease and inspect the bore and pin shank for burrs or contamination prior to pressing. Never drive the pin with a steel hammer directly on the end face, as this can damage the end geometry and compromise bore fit. Follow applicable facility safety procedures and lock out all energy sources before servicing any assembly containing dowel pins under load.
