Who Uses Dowels?
Dowels are used as hinges, shafts or pivots to locate or hold parts together in precision assemblies or fixtures.
They are used in a wide variety of applications in many industries including: aerospace, electric motors, hydraulic equipment, instrumentation, tools and fixtures, machinery, military, and many more.
Dowels are popular in assemblies because they can withstand frequent insertion and removal without deformation. And production favors pins because they require no additional fastening hardware to insert, no secondary operations, and no mating components. It all adds up to speed up production and keep everyone in the food chain happy
