Dowel pins are also known as lock pins / straight pins. They are machined to specific tolerances, making them ideal for locating, joining or aligning components to absorb lateral stress. Raptor Supplies offers these pins from brands like Grainger, Eazypower, Richard Manno Co. and Micro Plastics. Dowel pins and shafts are used for aerospace, automotive, electrical, tool & die, prototyping and military applications. These pins can be used as a shaft / pivot / hinge in components to handle frequent insertion & removal without any distortion.
If a dowel pin becomes stuck, applying a penetrating lubricant or heat to the surrounding area can help loosen it. To prevent mating component damage, do not overuse the driver.
Yes, dowel pins can be removed using tools such as drift punches or puller tools designed for that purpose. Pull out dowel pins, in particular, are designed for easy extraction by screwing in a bolt or rod.
Consider factors like the application requirements, the materials being joined, and the desired fit (such as clearance, interference or transition fit).
Press fit dowel pins are inserted into pre-drilled holes with a tight interference fit for a precise alignment and to prevent relative movement between components. They are usually installed by pressing or hammering. In contrast, slip fit dowel pins fit into pre-drilled holes with a looser tolerance and allow easier hand insertion & removal.
