Dowel Pins: Solid and straight pins with a very close controlled diameter. One of the ends is chamfered for an easy installation while the other end is radiused to form a crown. This gives the pin a wide varity of uses such as a plug gage, hinge or shaft. The close tolerence of the Dowel Pins make them very useful for achieving proper alignments in parts for high speed assemblies. Additionally, they can be used as roller bearings in buses or truck wheel housing. Installing a Dowel Pin involves pressing into the part, not pounding it in with force.
