MACHINE DOWEL PINS – HARDENED GROUND [METRIC SERIES]
1.1 Scope
1.1.1 This standard covers the dimensional and general data for hardened ground dowel pins in sizes 1.5 – 25 mm in two series recognized as American National Standard, which are widely used in general industrial applications.
1.1.2 The inclusion of dimensional data in this standard is not intended to imply that all products described are stock production sizes. Consumers are requested to consult with suppliers concerning the availability of the product.
1.2 Description
Hardened ground dowel pins are straight pins designed to be force-fitted into a part to provide alignment or location in the assembly. The hardness and closely controlled diameter provide controlled fit and wear resistance for pin applications. One end of the pin is chamfered to assist in insertion while the opposite end has a crown profile to minimize edge damage during insertion.
