Dowel Pins

Solid Dowel pins are cylindrical press-fit fasteners that provide precision solutions for a variety of fastening applications. They maintain accurate alignment, ensure proper fit, and enhance overall joint integrity. Once a dowel pin is inserted into a reamed hole, it is held in place using radial force. This force ensures a secure and lasting hold. 

Dowel pins can be measured in millimeters or inches for consistency across industrial applications. They are a versatile type of fastener that can be produced from a wide range of materials, including stainless steel, alloy steel, and steel. Though typically manufactured in standard diameters for ease of installation, dowel pins can also be manufactured in custom diameters for specialized applications or unique needs. So, if you can’t find the right size for your needs, a precision dowel pin can be custom-made for you

Standard and Custom Driv-Lok Dowel Pins and Plain Pins

Precision Standard Dowel Pins

DRIV-LOK offers precision dowel pins, cylindrical in shape and available in a wide range of diameters and lengths. These dowel pins are manufactured to standard metrics and act as pivot points or precisely align and secure two or more components together. DRIV-LOK manufactures to both ASME and ISO standard configurations.

Custom Precision Dowel Pins

We offer several types of custom dowel pins for applications and assemblies that require different sizes from the standard ones, including grooved, solid, and vented dowel pins.

Common Applications

Because dowel pins allow two components to be joined together safely and securely, they are widely used in a variety of industries. 

  • Industrial and engineering industries rely on dowels to keep machinery aligned, hold parts together, and reduce the risk of failure.
  • The automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing industries rely on dowel pins to align and join different component assemblies to ensure proper alignment. 

All of these industries require components that are guaranteed to perform and are uniform in size–DRIV-LOK dowel pins are essential components contributing to efficiency and reliability for our customers.
