304 Stainless Steel Solid Rods — precision, corrosion resistance, predictable performance Key features Material: Solid 304 stainless steel (AISI 304) for good corrosion resistance and dimensional stability. Available diameters: 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm. Available lengths: 100 mm, 200 mm, 300 mm, 500 mm. Purpose: Manufactured for tight tolerances and reliable fit in precision assemblies. Why this product solves common problems Precision fit: Exact diameters and consistent roundness reduce play in rotating parts and fit-critical assemblies, lowering rework and failure rates. Corrosion resistance: 304 stainless steel protects components in humid or mildly corrosive environments without surface treatments. Versatile sizing: Multiple diameters and lengths make it easy to select a rod that matches existing bores, pins, or shafts without extensive machining. Stable material: 304 stainless provides predictable mechanical behavior for pins, dowels, and hinge elements under normal service conditions. Typical applications and use scenarios Shafts and axles: Use as small drive or guide shafts in printers, small motors, or instrumentation where concentricity and smooth rotation are required. Hinges and pivot pins: Install as hinge pins in cabinets, door hardware, or light mechanical linkages that need corrosion resistance and a precise pivot. Dowel and locating pins: Use as dowel pins for jigs, fixtures, or assembly alignment to ensure repeatable positioning and tight tolerances. Practical notes Can be trimmed or machined to final length; verify fit and clearance before final assembly. Select diameter and length to match mating components and tolerance requirements. Ideal when a balance of corrosion resistance and dimensional reliability is required without special coatings. Available sizes summary Diameters: 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 mm Lengths: 100 mm, 200 mm, 300 mm, 500 mm If you need a precise stainless steel rod for shafts, hinges, or dowels in assemblies that require tight tolerances, these 304 solid rods provide a straightforward, reliable solution.
