Value Collection A996641 Flat Vent Pull Out Dowel Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A996641 is a flat vent pull out dowel pin manufactured to DIN 7979D standards. It measures 8 millimeters in diameter and 24 millimeters in overall length, machined from alloy steel for strength and dimensional consistency. One end is rounded and one end is threaded, allowing the pin to be extracted from a blind hole using a standard threaded puller tool. This type of precision locating pin is used by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance professionals working with jigs, fixtures, molds, and machine assemblies that require repeatable part positioning.

Flat vent pull out dowel pins are specified wherever a locating pin must be removable without damaging the bore. The flat ground along the pin body allows trapped air and cutting fluid to vent during press-fit installation, reducing the hydraulic lock that can cause bore damage or inaccurate seating. The threaded end accepts a puller or slide hammer for controlled extraction. Typical applications include precision fixture plates, injection mold tooling, die sets, and production jigs in industrial and manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• DIN 7979D standard geometry ensures interchangeability with compliant tooling components
• Flat vent ground along the body allows air and fluid to escape during installation
• Threaded extraction end enables controlled pull-out without bore damage
• Rounded opposite end facilitates guided entry into close-tolerance bores
• Alloy steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance suited to repeated locating cycles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock locating pin for fixtures, mold bases, die sets, and machine assemblies requiring an 8 millimeter DIN 7979D flat vent pull out dowel pin.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of precision dowel pins is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a press or mallet for installation and a threaded puller for extraction. De-energize and lock out all associated machinery before servicing any fixture or assembly containing these pins. Ensure the receiving bore is clean, dimensionally correct, and free of burrs before pressing the pin to avoid galling or misalignment. Do not drive the pin from the threaded end, as this may damage the extraction thread.
