Value Collection 536010PR Precision Dowel Pin 3x12mm Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 536010PR is a precision dowel pin manufactured from alloy steel to Grade 8 strength standards. It measures 3 mm in diameter and 12 mm in overall length, with rounded ends and a bright, uncoated finish. The pin conforms to DIN 6325 and ISO 8734 fastener standards, making it a reliable choice for close-tolerance alignment and locating applications in machined assemblies. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians install these pins where tight dimensional control is required to maintain part alignment, fixture positioning, or component registration across repeated assembly cycles.

This dowel pin is suited for use in precision machined components, jigs, fixtures, dies, and molds where consistent hole-to-hole alignment is critical. The 3 mm diameter and 12 mm length fit common metric bored or reamed holes in both production and maintenance settings. Its Grade 8 alloy steel construction handles the shear and compressive loads typical in light industrial and tool room applications. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units per order.

Key Features

• Conforms to DIN 6325 and ISO 8734 precision dowel pin standards
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high shear and compressive load capacity
• 3 mm diameter x 12 mm length for use in standard metric reamed holes
• Rounded end type for easier insertion into bored or reamed holes
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating thickness to account for in tight-tolerance fits
• UNSPSC Code 31163203 for procurement system compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use in precision metric bored or reamed holes requiring a 3 mm nominal diameter dowel per DIN 6325 or ISO 8734 specifications. Suitable for jigs, fixtures, dies, molds, and general machined assemblies.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins are installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a press fit into reamed holes — do not drive with a hammer, as this can damage the hole or the pin. Always ream holes to the correct tolerance class before installation to achieve the intended interference or transition fit. Confirm hole depth is sufficient to accept the full pin length before pressing. Remove any chips or debris from the hole before installation to avoid galling or dimensional error.
