Value Collection 536013PR Dowel Pin 3x18mm Alloy Steel Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 536013PR is a precision dowel pin designed for accurate alignment and location of mating components in assemblies, tooling, and fixtures. Manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this pin measures 3 mm in diameter and 18 mm in overall length with rounded ends. It conforms to DIN 6325 and ISO 8734 fastener standards, making it a consistent choice for shops and maintenance teams that require tight-tolerance positioning in metal fabrication, machining, and mechanical assembly work.

This dowel pin is suited for use in industrial and manufacturing environments where precise part-to-part alignment is critical. Typical applications include locating holes in dies, molds, jigs, fixtures, and machine components. The rounded end profile allows controlled press or slip-fit insertion into ground or reamed holes. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces; this listing represents a package quantity of 1.

Key Features

• Conforms to DIN 6325 and ISO 8734 for standardized dimensional tolerances
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high strength and wear resistance
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for press-fit and slip-fit applications
• Rounded end type for controlled entry into precision-bored holes
• 3 mm diameter x 18 mm length for compact, tight-tolerance location work

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 6325 and ISO 8734 compliant precision dowel pin for use in standard metric ground or reamed holes requiring a 3 mm diameter location pin.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or mechanical assembly technicians. Confirm hole diameter tolerance and surface finish before installation, as precision dowel pins require properly ground or reamed holes for correct fit. Use an arbor press or appropriate drive tool when press-fitting; do not strike the pin directly with an unprotected hammer, as this can damage the pin geometry or host bore. Ensure the assembly is secure and unpowered before pin installation or removal in live machinery.
