Precision Ground Dowel Pins are used in a variety of applications and are generally made to fractional diameters and lengths. Dowel Pins are machined with a chamfer on one end and a radius on the other for easy installation. Dowels are made from 4037 Alloy Steel, 303 and 316 Stainless Steel, and 360 Brass. All Stainless and Brass Dowels are generally non-magnetic and corrosion resistant, however, they are not very hard and can be bent or dented easily. Hardened ground Alloy Steel Dowel Pins do not bend, dent, or break very easily because they are case hardened to Rockwell HRC 60 and have a core hardness from HRC 52-58. Alloy Dowel Pins are excellent for applications where high strength is required. Though these pins are not corrosion resistant they can be coated with a black oxide finish to help reduce their tendency to rust.
Pins are non-threaded cylindrical fasteners that are inserted into one or more holes to fix a component's position, join components, or maintain alignment between them. Several different pin styles fit a variety of application and installation requirements. Dowel pins, for example, have a solid shaft that is often rounded or beveled at the ends. Quick-release pins have a button, handle, or ring at one end that releases retractable balls at the other end to act as a lock-and-release mechanism. pins have a head at one end and one or more cross holes at the other end that allow insertion of cotter pins to lock components in place. Cotter pins have two prongs that can be inserted into the hole of clevis pins or other fasteners and bent to secure them in place. Taper pins are tapered consistently across the body of the pin so that one end has a slightly larger diameter than the other. Spring pins are slotted or coiled to expand to fit the diameter of a hole, which should be smaller than the diameter of the pin.
