Dowel bushings are spring-action, roll-formed hardened components designed to align mating parts, eliminate separate bolt holes, and protect bolts from shear loading by isolating forces to tension. The bushings feature a staggered seam for automatic feeding, lead-in chamfers to ease installation, and a controlled inside diameter to accommodate fasteners while maintaining joint integrity. They are self-retained upon installation due to spring action and are suitable for use in applications requiring cost-effective precision alignment without precision hole requirements.
Dowel bushings are used to locate components in conjunction with bolts which pass through the inside of the bushing after it has been installed. Separate holes for locating pins are eliminated. The hardened bushings also absorb shear loads, isolating the bolts from these forces.
