Value Collection 536012PR Precision Dowel Pin 3x16mm Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 536012PR is a precision dowel pin manufactured from alloy steel to Grade 8 standards, conforming to DIN 6325 and ISO 8734 specifications. At 3 mm in diameter and 16 mm in overall length, this pin features a bright, uncoated finish and rounded ends for smooth, controlled installation into precision-bored holes. It is used to align and locate machine components, fixtures, and assemblies in industrial and mechanical applications. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians rely on this class of pin wherever tight tolerances and repeatable positioning are required.

This dowel pin is suited for use in machine tools, jigs, fixtures, dies, and general industrial assemblies where precise hole-to-hole alignment is critical. The Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides the hardness and dimensional consistency needed to maintain alignment under load and repeated assembly cycles. The bright finish leaves the surface uncoated, which is appropriate for applications where coating thickness could affect fit tolerance. This part ships in a package quantity of 1 with a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Key Features

• Conforms to DIN 6325 and ISO 8734 standards for precision dowel pins
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for hardness and dimensional stability
• 3 mm diameter by 16 mm overall length for close-tolerance hole fits
• Rounded ends ease entry into bored holes and reduce chamfering requirements
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains nominal dimensional tolerances without coating buildup

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 6325 and ISO 8734 precision dowel pin, suitable for use in any jig, fixture, die, or machine assembly that specifies a 3 mm precision dowel in that standard.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins are typically pressed or driven into reamed holes using an arbor press or a brass drift to avoid damaging the pin or bore. Power down and de-energize all machinery before disassembling or reassembling components that incorporate dowel pins. Verify hole diameter and depth against pin specifications before installation, as oversized or undersized bores will affect alignment accuracy. Consult applicable machinery safety standards and your facility lockout/tagout procedures before beginning any work.
