5/16 x 1/4 18-8 Stainless Steel Standard Dowel Pin is used when the assembly needs a cylindrical locator rather than a threaded fastener carrying the lateral location load.
Conveyor side frames, guide blocks, and packaging change parts may use the pin as the reference feature that holds lateral position. For dry service where a hardened pin is specified, review Heat Treated Steel Standard Dowel Pins instead of substituting stainless. 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.
