Value Collection SF043065 Precision Dowel Pin Alloy Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SF043065 is a precision dowel pin used to align, locate, and secure mating components in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from alloy steel with a Rockwell C hardness of 50-58 HRC, this pin delivers the strength and wear resistance required in demanding tooling, fixture, and machine applications. It measures 0.25 inches in diameter and 0.375 inches in overall length, with a diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for close-fit positioning. End configuration is one beveled end and one rounded end. Breaking strength is rated in double shear. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

This dowel pin is suited for use in jigs, fixtures, dies, and precision machine components where accurate part-to-part alignment is critical. The close diameter tolerance makes it appropriate for reamed holes where slip-fit or press-fit installation is required. It is applicable across general industrial manufacturing, metalworking, and maintenance-repair-operations (MRO) environments. The minimum order quantity is 100 units; individual package quantity is 1.

Key Features

• Alloy steel construction with 50-58 HRC hardness for wear and shear resistance
• One beveled end and one rounded end for guided insertion and flush seating
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for precision alignment in close-tolerance bores
• Double shear breaking strength rating suitable for high-load alignment applications
• Conforms to ASME B18.8.2 fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.8.2 precision dowel pin for use in reamed holes in jigs, fixtures, dies, and mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.25-inch nominal diameter locating pin.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians. The mating bore should be finish-reamed to the appropriate tolerance class before driving or pressing the pin into position. Power down and de-energize any machinery before installing or removing dowel pins. Avoid hammer impact directly on the pin face; use a brass or nylon drift when removal is required to prevent bore and pin damage.
