Use dowel pins as pivots, hinges, shafts, jigs, and fixtures to locate or hold parts. For a tight fit, your hole should be equal to or slightly smaller than the diameter shown. Breaking strength is measured as double shear, which is the force required to break a pin into three pieces.
Steel pins are the strongest dowel pins. We also offer Stainless Steel dowel pins (SS304) for corrosive environments. Stainless steel pins are more corrosion resistant than steel pins.
