    Fully Grooved Dowel Pins

    With a tighter fit than standard dowel pins, these resist pulling from movement and vibration, even in imperfect holes. Three grooves pinch shut when installed, creating tension to lock in place. Also known as Type A pins.
    For the best fit, drill your hole slightly larger than the nominal diameter shown.

    Tapered Groove

    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.
    Parallel Groove—Fit tighter than pins with tapered grooves to stay in place under severe vibration. However, they require more force to insert.
    Tapered Groove—Easier to install than pins with parallel grooves but less secure in high-vibration applications.

    Tapered Groove

    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments. In addition to resisting rust, these pins also withstand mild chemicals such as cleaners and degreasers. They are strong enough to join most components but won't withstand extreme stress and vibration as well as steel.
    Tapered Groove—Easier to install than pins with parallel grooves but less secure in high-vibration applications.

    Fully Grooved Dowel Pins with Rounded Head

    The domed head creates a finished appearance, so these pins are often used to attach brackets, knobs, and machine plates. The grooves pinch shut when you press pins into a hole, creating tension to lock them in place.
    For the best fit, drill your hole slightly larger than the nominal diameter shown.

    Partially Grooved Dowel Pins

    The grooved section secures these pins while the smooth portion is free to act as a pivot or hinge. The grooves pinch shut when installed, creating tension to lock in place. They fit tighter than standard dowel pins and resist pulling from movement and vibration, even in imperfect holes.
    For the best fit, drill your hole slightly larger than the nominal diameter shown.

    Groove

    The most versatile partially grooved 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.
    Parallel Groove—Fit tighter than pins with tapered grooves to stay in place under severe vibration. However, they require more force to insert.
    Tapered Groove—Easier to install than pins with parallel grooves but less secure in high-vibration applications.
    Reverse-Tapered Groove—With grooves that narrow toward the end, these pins are the best for securing a stop or handle in a blind hole. They’re easier to insert than pins with parallel grooves but are less secure in high-vibration applications.

    Parallel Groove

    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. Also known as type E 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.
    Parallel Groove—Fit tighter than pins with tapered grooves to stay in place under severe vibration. However, they require more force to insert.

    Partially Grooved Dowel Pins with Notch

    Slip a spring into the notch at the end of the pin. Often used in automated machinery such as conveyors and robotic arms, the pin anchors the spring in place to create tension between components. The grooved section pinches shut when installed to lock the pin in place. Grooved pins have a tighter fit than standard dowel pins and resist pulling from movement and vibration.
    For the best fit, drill your hole slightly larger than the nominal diameter shown.

    Also known as type G 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.
    Parallel Groove—Fit tighter than pins with tapered grooves to stay in place under severe vibration. However, they require more force to insert.
