Value Collection 536055PR Precision Dowel Pin 5x18mm Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 536055PR is a precision dowel pin designed for accurate alignment and location of mating components in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from alloy steel to Material Grade 8 and finished to DIN 6325 and ISO 8734 standards, this pin delivers tight dimensional tolerances suitable for demanding industrial and tooling applications. The bright, uncoated surface finish maintains close diameter control across the 5 mm shank. The rounded end type allows for clean insertion into bored holes without chamfering or secondary prep in most standard applications. Installation is performed by machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians working on fixtures, jigs, dies, and precision assemblies.

This dowel pin is suited for use in light to heavy industrial environments wherever repeatable component alignment is required. Typical applications include fixture building, die sets, machine frames, and any assembly where a fixed, non-threaded locating pin is needed. The Grade 8 alloy steel construction supports use in higher-stress locate-and-retain applications where a softer material would deform or wear. This SKU is sold in a package quantity of 1 with a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard precision locating pin for mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and tooling that require DIN 6325 or ISO 8734 compliant 5 mm dowel pins.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a press or mallet with a proper driving tool sized to the pin diameter. The mating bored hole should be reamed to the tolerance specified by the applicable DIN 6325 or ISO 8734 standard before pressing the pin. De-energize, lock out, and tag out any machinery before servicing or replacing locating pins in active equipment. Do not use an oversized driving tool that contacts the hole bore, as this can damage the seating surface.
