1 x 5/16 Heat Treated Steel Standard Dowel Pin is selected where a ground steel pin must hold alignment while surrounding fasteners provide clamp load. For example, this nominal size measures above nominal; the pin is made big so the fit is made right.
This size is often reviewed for automation tooling, end-of-arm fixtures, and changeover plates when a drawing calls for standard-series press-fit dowels. Bare heat treated steel should be kept oiled in storage and service planning when the environment may promote oxidation.
Since 1962, Cold Headers has helped buyers match specialty fasteners to drawings, repair records, and production requirements. Review the nominal diameter, measured pin range, recommended hole size, end form, and length before matching this dowel pin to an assembly.
