Value Collection SF043068 Precision Dowel Pin 1/8 X 1/4 in Ss 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SF043068 is a precision dowel pin used to align, locate, or retain components in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this pin meets the dimensional and tolerance requirements of ASME B18.8.2. It measures 0.125 inches in diameter and 0.250 inches in overall length, with a diameter tolerance of plus or minus 0.0002 inches. Beveled ends allow for controlled insertion and help prevent galling during assembly. This pin is typically installed by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working on precision fixtures, jigs, or mechanical components.

This pin is suited for applications requiring close-tolerance alignment in corrosion-resistant assemblies. Grade 316 stainless steel provides added resistance to chloride environments and chemical exposure compared to Grade 304, making it a common choice in marine, food processing, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing applications. The compact 0.125-inch diameter and 0.250-inch length fit standard precision pin holes where tight positional repeatability is required.

Key Features

• Meets ASME B18.8.2 precision dowel pin standard for dimensional compliance
• Grade 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Diameter tolerance of plus or minus 0.0002 inches for close-fit alignment
• Beveled ends for controlled, damage-free insertion
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains precise surface dimensions

Compatibility

Designed as an ASME B18.8.2-compliant precision dowel pin for use in standard 0.125-inch diameter precision-reamed or ground holes in mechanical assemblies requiring close-tolerance location or retention.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins are typically pressed or driven into reamed holes using a pin press or arbor press. Power down all equipment and de-energize any associated systems before servicing assemblies containing these pins. Avoid hammering directly on the pin face, as this can damage the end or alter the fit. Ensure mating holes are clean, properly sized, and free of burrs before installation.
