Value Collection 551432PS Dowel Pin 6x18mm Ss 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 551432PS is a standard pull out dowel pin manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Measuring 6 mm in diameter and 18 mm in overall length, this pin is designed to align, locate, and retain mating components in mechanical assemblies. The rounded end type eases insertion and reduces the risk of bore damage during installation. Conforming to DIN 7 EN ISO 2338, it meets widely recognized dimensional and tolerance standards. This pin is suited for applications where corrosion resistance is a priority, including marine, food processing, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing environments.

This dowel pin is used in precision alignment applications across industrial, commercial, and manufacturing settings. The Grade 316 stainless steel construction provides superior resistance to chlorides and oxidizing agents compared to Grade 304, making it appropriate for harsh or wet environments. It is commonly installed by machinists, maintenance mechanics, and industrial assembly technicians working with jigs, fixtures, dies, and housings that require repeatable, accurate part positioning.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance in aggressive environments
• Conforms to DIN 7 EN ISO 2338 dimensional and tolerance standard
• Rounded end type for easier insertion into close-tolerance bores
• Bright, uncoated finish for consistent surface condition and dimensional accuracy
• 6 mm diameter x 18 mm overall length for standard metric alignment applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation metric dowel pin for mechanical assemblies requiring DIN 7 EN ISO 2338 compliant alignment fasteners with a 6 mm diameter and 18 mm length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or mechanical assembly technicians. Press or drive the pin into a properly reamed, close-tolerance bore using an arbor press or appropriate driving tool — do not hammer directly on the pin face without a suitable driver to avoid deformation. Ensure mating bores are clean, deburred, and dimensionally verified before pressing to preserve pin and bore integrity. Consult applicable machinery standards and engineering specifications for fit class and press force requirements.
