Value Collection A996623 Dowel Pin 5mm X 12mm Alloy Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A996623 is a flat vent pull out dowel pin used to locate and align mating components in precision assemblies. Manufactured from alloy steel with a Rockwell C hardness of 57 to 63, this pin provides reliable resistance to wear and shear forces in demanding applications. One end is rounded and the other end is threaded, allowing the pin to be extracted from blind holes using a standard puller or threaded rod. It conforms to DIN 7979D, the internationally recognized standard for this pin geometry. Licensed machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians install these pins in jigs, fixtures, dies, and machine tool assemblies.

This dowel pin is suited for industrial machining and assembly environments where accurate, repeatable part location is required. The flat vent channel along the body allows air and lubricant to escape during press-fit installation, reducing hydraulic lock and preventing bore damage. Applications include fixture plates, die sets, and precision machine components across manufacturing and maintenance operations. Sold in a package quantity of 25.

Key Features

• Flat vent design relieves hydraulic pressure during press-fit installation, protecting precision bores
• One rounded end and one threaded end for controlled insertion and easy extraction from blind holes
• Alloy steel construction with Rockwell C 57-63 hardness for high wear and shear resistance
• Conforms to DIN 7979D for dimensional consistency and interchangeability
• 5 mm diameter x 12 mm overall length suits compact precision assemblies
• Package quantity of 25 supports bench stock and production use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or production component for machinery, jigs, fixtures, and die sets requiring DIN 7979D flat vent pull out dowel pins with a 5 mm diameter and 12 mm length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a press or mallet with an appropriate driver. De-energize and lock out all equipment before servicing any assembly that contains these pins. Ensure the receiving bore is clean, dimensioned to the correct H7 or specified tolerance, and lightly lubricated before pressing the pin. Use the threaded end with a proper puller for extraction from blind holes rather than attempting to drive the pin back through the bore.
