| Dowel Pins | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Straight Dowel | Straight dowel pins are cylindrical pins that join two pieces together to prevent motion or slippage. | ||
| Oversize Dowel | Oversized dowel pins are manufactured slightly over the nominal size. | ||
| Undersize Dowel | Undersized dowel pins are manufactured slightly under the nominal size. | ||
| Pull Dowel Pin | Pull dowel pins have a threaded hole in one end so that a screw can be inserted to help remove the pin from a blind hole. | ||
| Groove Pin | Grooved pins are cylindrical pins with longitudinal grooves. They are used to join two components. Grooves provide greater surface area for adhesive, and offer improved holding power. | ||
| Knurled Pin | Knurled pins are straight pins with a knurled surface. They provide a better grip than a smooth dowel pin. | ||
| Parallel Pin | Parallel pins are cylindrical dowel pins that have the ends machined to two different tolerances. | ||
| Spiral Groove Pin | Spiral groove pins are cylindrical pins with longitudinal grooves. They are used to join two components. Grooves provide greater surface area for adhesive, and offer improved holding power. | ||
| Stepped Dowel Pin | Stepped dowel pins have two different body diameters. | ||
| Taper Pin, Nonthreaded | Nonthreaded taper pins are solid pins with a taper at a rate of 1/4" per foot from the larger end to the smaller. | ||
| Taper Pin, Threaded | Threaded taper pins have the same dimensions as standard taper pins with the addition of a threaded section, usually at the smaller end. Threaded taper pins are used when removal may be required. | ||
| Drive Pin | Drive pins have an interference fit and must be driven into place. They are commonly used to assemble components in rotary or other moving applications. | ||
| Escutcheon Pin | Escutcheon pins are used for light fastening jobs such as attaching nameplates. Escutcheon pins have a semispherical head at one end and a long cone at the other. Usually, these pins are hammered into place by hand. | ||

Material

|
|
| ||
| Material | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Aluminum | Aluminum is a bluish, silver-white, malleable, ductile, light, trivalent, metallic element with good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation. | ||
| Brass | Brass provides good strength, excellent high temperature ductility and reasonable cold ductility, good electrical conductivity, excellent corrosion-resistance, good bearing properties, and low magnetic permeability. | ||
| Plastic | Plastics are organic, synthetic, or processed materials that are mostly thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers of high molecular weight. They can be made into objects, films, or filaments. | ||
| Stainless Steel | Stainless steel is chemical-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and can have relatively high pressure ratings. | ||
| Titanium | Titanium is a silver-white metal that is used primarily to make light, strong alloys with good temperature and corrosion resistance. Titanium alloys weigh approximately 44% less than stainless or alloy steels. | ||
| Wood | Pins are made from wood, typically a hard wood such as white birch. | ||
| Steel, Hardened and Ground | Pins are made of hardened and ground steel. Steel may be hardened in a number of ways. These include a variety of quenching techniques in oil and water, being passed through induction chambers, etc. Cooling steel quickly during processing freezes, traps, and packs the carbon atoms inside the shrunken iron crystals, thereby producing a very hard and brittle metal. Although this material is very hard, it cannot absorb much shock or impact without breaking. | ||
| Steel, Unhardened | Pins are made of unhardened steel. By definition, steel is a commercial iron that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 % as an essential alloying constituent. Steel is malleable when under suitable conditions, and is distinguished from cast iron by both its malleability and lower carbon content. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted or proprietary materials. | ||
