The RS PRO 270-350 Plain Steel Taper Dowel Pin is a high-precision fastener designed to facilitate the accurate alignment and permanent or temporary joining of mechanical components in industrial, toolroom, and fixture applications. This dowel pin, measuring 40 mm in length and with a 2 mm nominal diameter, delivers excellent fit and repeatability thanks to its tapered construction, easing the installation and removal processes compared to parallel pins.
Fabricated from unhardened, plain finish mild steel, the pin ensures adequate strength, resilience to deformation, and moderate resistance to corrosion, making it a suitable choice for various alignment and fastening applications in demanding assembly and production environments. The tapered shape allows for a secure press-fit and self-centering function, providing precise location of mating holes for the correct orientation of parts.
The product is manufactured in compliance with internationally recognized DIN 1B and BS46/3 standards, ensuring compatibility, performance, and consistent quality across industrial use cases. Its standardized geometry and dimensions support interchangeability with other metric taper pins and simplify integration into pre-engineered assemblies and jigs.
Users benefit from the plain finish which reduces friction during insertion, protects the base steel from environmental exposure to some degree, and supports straightforward removal with suitable tools. The dowel pin is widely deployed in settings such as automotive engineering, general machinery assembly, precision toolmaking, structural frames, and furniture construction, where hidden, non-visible joining is desired for both functionality and aesthetics.
Applications include the precise location of shaft collars, dies, pulleys, gears, and other components subjected to cyclical removal and reassembly. For engineers and maintenance professionals, the RS PRO 270-350 ensures a reliable, standardized solution for mechanical alignment challenges.
