Custom Precision 304 Stainless Steel Small Dowel Pins

 

We had approximately 150,000 pieces of these small precision 304 stainless steel dowel pins manufactured for our customer with split scheduled releases.  The pins measured 2.93-3.42MM in overall length with a diameter of 2.390MM +0/-.002.  Slight 0.25MM radius was applied on both sides to complete the parts.  Commercial passivation was performed prior to sorting of the parts and material certs were provided with the parts, as well as our certificate of conformance.

Custom Stainless Slotted Pins in 416 Stainless Steel Material - RC 26 to 32

We supplied our long time medical device customer 2,500 pieces of these tricky custom stainless slotted pins.  Production was done domestically using 416 stainless steel material - the original design called out for 17-4PH stainless steel material but that was found to be unnecessary for the relatively simple application.  416 SS provided a much more cost effective and faster alternative while still providing the "spring" action required when the four petals were contracted.  10 pieces were provided out of the production batch for testing and approval before the balance was completed with the slotting process.
