Value Collection 548464PS Dowel Pin 12x45mm Alloy Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 548464PS is a flat vent pull out dowel pin designed for precision locating and alignment applications in tooling, fixtures, and machine assemblies. Manufactured from alloy steel with a hardness of 57-63 HRC, this pin delivers the wear resistance and dimensional stability that production and maintenance environments demand. The pin measures 12 mm in diameter and 45 mm in overall length, with one rounded end and one threaded end to facilitate controlled extraction from blind-hole installations. It conforms to DIN 7979D, making it a direct fit for applications specifying that standard.

This dowel pin is used wherever repeatable, tight-tolerance positioning is required between mating components. Flat vent pull out pins are common in injection molds, die sets, jigs, and precision mechanical assemblies where trapped air during insertion must be vented and the pin may need to be removed without damage to the bore. The threaded end accepts a standard extraction tool, allowing removal from blind holes without a press. Both tool-and-die shops and general industrial maintenance crews work with this style of pin regularly.

Key Features

• DIN 7979D compliant for standardized precision locating applications
• 57-63 HRC alloy steel construction for high wear resistance and dimensional stability
• 12 mm diameter x 45 mm overall length
• One rounded end for guided insertion; one threaded end for controlled blind-hole extraction
• Flat vent groove allows air to escape during press-fit installation, reducing hydraulic lock

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit dowel pin for tooling, fixtures, and machine assemblies specifying a DIN 7979D flat vent pull out pin at 12 mm diameter and 45 mm length.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of precision dowel pins is typically performed by tool-and-die technicians or mechanical maintenance personnel. De-energize and lock out the associated equipment before servicing any fixture or assembly containing these pins. Use a proper extraction tool threaded into the pin end to remove from blind holes — do not drive or pry against the pin body, as this can damage the bore or the pin. Follow shop tolerancing standards for hole preparation to maintain the intended press or transition fit.
