Custom Precision Dowel Pins In 18-8 Stainless Steel Material

Custom Precision Dowel Pins In 18-8 Stainless Steel Material
We had 3,200 pieces of these custom precision dowel pins made domestically for our medical device customer using 18-8 stainless steel material with plain finish.  Overall length was set to .240" +/- .005" and the diameter was set to .092" +/-.005".  These were relatively simple parts and the lead time was much faster than the more involved parts that require a special finish.  Full certs were provided with the parts.

Custom Captive Shoulder Screws - 18-8 Stainless Steel Material

Custom Captive Shoulder Screws - 18-8 Stainless Steel Material

These custom captive shoulder screws were manufactured using a modification to a COTS part for our defense customer using 18-8 stainless steel material with standard 2-56 3A thread and standard socket head dimensions.  Length underneath the head was designed to .750" +/- .005" and the shoulder was turned to a diameter of .052-.054", at a length of .066" +/- .005".  The thread had to be chased for each part to ensure smooth thread transitions after the additional shoulder was incorporated.
