Value Collection A996645 Dowel Pin 8x36mm Alloy Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A996645 is a flat vent pull out dowel pin manufactured to DIN 7979D standards from alloy steel. It measures 8 mm in diameter and 36 mm in overall length, with one rounded end and one threaded end for pull-out removal without special tooling. Flat vent pull out dowel pins are precision locating fasteners used to align and secure mating components in assemblies, fixtures, and tooling setups. The threaded end allows the pin to be extracted using a standard threaded puller, making service and disassembly faster in high-cycle applications. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians install these pins in production fixtures and precision mechanical assemblies.

This dowel pin is suited for use in manufacturing fixtures, jigs, dies, and precision mechanical assemblies where repeatable component alignment is required. The flat vent channel along the pin body allows trapped air and lubricant to escape during press-fit installation, reducing the risk of hydraulic lock and simplifying seating. The DIN 7979D standard specifies the geometry, tolerances, and end configuration, making this pin a recognized specification fastener for both OEM production and MRO replacement applications. It is appropriate for light-to-medium duty locating tasks in both ferrous and non-ferrous tooling plates.

Key Features

• DIN 7979D standard geometry ensures dimensional compliance with international fastener specifications
• 8 mm diameter with 36 mm overall length for precise locating in standard tooling plates
• One rounded end and one threaded end for controlled press-fit installation and pull-out extraction
• Flat vent channel along the body prevents hydraulic lock during press-fit seating
• Alloy steel construction provides strength and wear resistance in demanding fixture applications

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 7979D-compliant locating pin for use in standard precision tooling plates, jigs, dies, and mechanical assemblies requiring an 8 mm nominal bore diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal are typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a press or standard threaded pull-out tool matched to the threaded end. Ensure the bore is clean, within specified tolerance for the pin diameter, and lightly lubricated before pressing to seat. To remove, thread in the appropriate puller and extract axially without side loading the pin or bore. Always verify the mating hole diameter and depth before installation to avoid damage to the component or the pin.
