1/4 x 3 18-8 Stainless Steel Standard Dowel Pin is intended for clean industrial assemblies where stainless locating hardware is specified by the drawing or plant standard.
Conveyor side frames, guide blocks, and packaging change parts may use the pin as the reference feature that holds lateral position. Tension Pins serve a different role, using spring action in looser holes rather than a ground cylindrical press fit. Use the nominal diameter, tolerance band, and length together; the dowel sets location while separate fasteners provide clamping force.
For hard-to-find stainless dowel pin sizes, Cold Headers can help locate exact diameters and lengths used in older equipment and rebuild projects.
