Value Collection SF043071 Dowel Pin 1/8x5/8 in Ss Grade 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SF043071 is a precision dowel pin manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Measuring 0.125 inches in diameter and 0.625 inches in overall length, this pin is produced to ASME B18.8.2 standards with a diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches, making it suitable for close-tolerance alignment and locating applications. Both ends are beveled to ease insertion into drilled or reamed holes. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians install these pins where repeatable, accurate part alignment is required in assemblies exposed to corrosive environments or wash-down conditions.

This dowel pin is used in machine fixtures, jigs, dies, and mechanical assemblies where precise hole-to-hole alignment must be maintained. Grade 316 stainless steel provides improved corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304, making this pin well suited for food processing equipment, marine hardware, chemical processing machinery, and other environments where moisture or chemical exposure is a factor. It is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• ASME B18.8.2 standard precision dowel pin for close-tolerance locating and alignment
• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for consistent, repeatable fit in reamed holes
• Beveled ends on both sides for easy insertion and reduced installation force
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy without added coating thickness

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision locating pin for use in machine fixtures, jigs, dies, and mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.125-inch diameter, 0.625-inch length precision dowel to ASME B18.8.2 standards.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins are typically installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a press or mallet with a suitable driver. The receiving hole should be reamed, not just drilled, to achieve the interference or transition fit required for proper alignment. Always degrease mating surfaces before installation and confirm hole depth is sufficient to accept the full pin length. Do not hammer pins directly without a driver, as this may damage the beveled end or distort the hole.
