    Partially Knurled Dowel Pins

    A section of knurls around the entire diameter of these pins make better contact with the hole than partially grooved pins. The knurls resist both pulling and twisting that can displace the pin and damage the hole, while the smooth portion acts as a hinge or pivot.

    The most versatile partially knurled pins, these are used in a range of applications, including as rod end linkages, stop pins, and locators. Also known as type H pins.
    Zinc-Plated Carbon Steel—These pins withstand occasional exposure to moisture. However, since friction from moving parts can wear away the finish, they're not ideal for wet environments. While not nearly as corrosion resistant as stainless steel, they are stronger and won’t deform under stress.

    These pins lock in the middle, leaving two smooth ends free. They're often used to create a T-handle, such as on a valve stem to open and close it by hand.

    Etched around the entire diameter, these pins make more contact with the hole than grooved pins. This gives them better resistance to both pulling and twisting that can displace the pin and damage the hole. They're also the best choice for holding plastic and thin parts together.
    Steel
    Low-Carbon Steel—These pins won't deform from stress and vibration. They're stronger than stainless steel but not quite as strong as alloy steel. Pins perform best in dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.
