Value Collection 551201PR Dowel Pin 3x6mm SS316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 551201PR is a standard pull out dowel pin manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. This pin measures 3 mm in diameter and 6 mm in overall length, featuring a rounded end type per the DIN 7 EN ISO 2338 fastener standard. Pull out dowel pins are precision alignment components used to locate and register mating parts in assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and tooling. Grade 316 stainless steel provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304, making these pins suitable for wet, chemical, or marine environments. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians install these pins in production and industrial settings.

These pins are suited for use in precision machining fixtures, mold and die assemblies, and industrial equipment where repeatable part alignment is required. The DIN 7 EN ISO 2338 standard governs dimensional tolerances, ensuring consistent fit when used in reamed holes. The bright finish leaves the pin surface clean and free of coating buildup, which is critical where close-tolerance fits are required. Sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, these pins are typically purchased for shop stock or production runs requiring consistent on-hand inventory.

• Rounded end type for easy insertion into reamed holes
• Bright uncoated finish maintains close-tolerance dimensional integrity
• Manufactured to DIN 7 EN ISO 2338 fastener standard
• Minimum order quantity of 100 pieces supports production and shop-stock use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision alignment component for use in any assembly, fixture, or tooling application requiring a DIN 7 EN ISO 2338 compliant standard pull out dowel pin with a 3 mm diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation of dowel pins is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a reamed hole sized to the appropriate ISO tolerance fit. Ensure mating holes are clean, deburred, and dimensionally correct before pressing or hand-driving the pin into place. Do not force an oversized pin into an undersized hole, as this can damage the bore or distort the pin. Follow applicable facility safety and lockout/tagout procedures when installing alignment components in machinery or equipment.
