Dowel Pins

Dowel pins are cylindrical metal rods used to precisely align or join two or more components. They are typically installed in pre-drilled holes to ensure accurate positioning, improve strength, and maintain consistent assembly. Commonly made from materials such as steel, stainless steel, or alloy, dowel pins can be hardened for wear resistance or left unhardened for easier installation.

They are widely used in machinery, automotive, aerospace, and woodworking applications, serving functions such as locating parts, maintaining alignment, absorbing shear loads, or acting as pivot points. Their simplicity, reliability, and precision make them a standard choice in manufacturing and engineering.
