About this size

Pins in this range are the workhorses of fixture and tooling work — locating plates, indexing sub-assemblies, and holding alignment through repeated teardown. There is enough cross-section here to take real side load, so the usual failure mode is a worn or bell-mouthed hole rather than the pin. If a fixture is opened often, a slip fit in one half and a press fit in the other saves the hole.

316 is the default when the part will see saline, cleaning chemistry, or repeated autoclave cycles. The molybdenum addition over 304 buys meaningful pitting resistance, which is why it dominates medical and marine work. It is gummier to machine than the free-machining grades and work-hardens readily, so it is turned slower here — that shows up in the price rather than in the finished tolerance.

Specified in millimetres, the diameter tolerance is computed as an ISO 286-1 IT band rather than a fixed figure, so it tightens as the diameter falls — a 2 mm pin at h7 is held far closer in absolute terms than an 8 mm one at the same grade. Grades h5 through h8 are offered in metric, all of them shaft tolerances that fall at or below the nominal diameter. Which grade a given assembly needs is the designer's call, and the configurator prices each of them so the choice can be made against real numbers.

Need a different length?

This page prices a 24.000 mm pin, but the length is not fixed. The same 6.000 mm diameter is turned to order at any length between 0.508 mm and 101.6 mm — enter the one you need and the price updates immediately.

That is usually the reason to have a pin made rather than bought. A standard pin comes in standard lengths, so an odd length means cutting one down, which leaves a raw end to re-finish and puts the length tolerance at the mercy of whatever did the cutting. A pin turned to length arrives finished on both ends and held to ±0.1 mm. More on that on the custom length dowel pins page.
