Our Dowel Pins ISO 2338A are premium stainless steel dowel pins used for locating, aligning, and securing parts during assembly. Engineered to provide precise alignment and reduce misalignment in press-fit applications, these pins are ideal for use in mechanical and industrial assemblies across multiple sectors.
What are Dowel Pins ISO 2338A?
Dowel Pins ISO 2338A, also known as cylindrical or alignment pins, are solid parallel dowels made to international ISO 2338A standards. They feature chamfered ends that make insertion easier, particularly into press-fit holes, and are typically oversized to ensure a tight, secure fit. Manufactured from high-performance A1 (303 equivalent) stainless steel, these pins provide excellent resistance to corrosion, wear, and mechanical stress, making them ideal for medium to heavy-duty applications. Dowel pins such as these are essential in precision engineering tasks where accurate alignment is critical.
