Value Collection 551210PR Dowel Pin 3x12mm SS316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 551210PR is a standard pull out dowel pin manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Measuring 3 mm in diameter and 12 mm in overall length, this pin meets DIN 7 EN ISO 2338 dimensional and tolerance standards. It features a rounded end type for straightforward insertion and extraction during assembly or fixture alignment. Grade 316 stainless steel provides strong corrosion resistance, making it suitable for environments where moisture, chemicals, or salt exposure are concerns. This pin is used by machinists, millwrights, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians working with precision-aligned components.

This dowel pin is appropriate for general industrial, marine, food processing, and sanitary applications where Grade 316 stainless steel is required. The DIN 7 EN ISO 2338 standard ensures consistent diameter tolerances for reliable press-fit or slip-fit use in jigs, fixtures, molds, and machinery. It is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Meets DIN 7 EN ISO 2338 standard for dimensional accuracy and tolerance control
• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for enhanced corrosion resistance over Grade 304
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains precise diameter tolerances
• Rounded end type facilitates alignment and insertion without chamfering tools
• Compact 3 mm diameter by 12 mm length suits tight-clearance fixture and jig applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 7 EN ISO 2338 pull out dowel pin suitable for use in precision fixtures, jigs, molds, and mechanical assemblies requiring a 3 mm nominal diameter locating pin in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using an arbor press or mallet with a driver of appropriate diameter. Ensure the receiving hole is drilled and reamed to the correct tolerance per DIN 7 EN ISO 2338 before pressing the pin. Always de-energize and lock out any machinery before inserting or removing dowel pins from active assemblies. Do not force the pin into an undersized hole, as this may damage the pin or the mating component.
