Value Collection A996652 Dowel Pin 10x32mm Alloy Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A996652 is a flat vent pull out dowel pin designed for precision location and alignment applications in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from alloy steel, this pin measures 10 millimeters in diameter and 32 millimeters in overall length. It conforms to the DIN 7979D fastener standard, which specifies the flat vent groove running along the pin body to allow air and lubricant to escape during press-fit installation. One end is rounded for guided insertion and the opposite end is threaded to accept a drawbolt or extraction tool, enabling controlled removal without damage to the workpiece. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics working with jigs, fixtures, and precision molds are the primary installers of this fastener. Sold in a package of 10 pins.

This dowel pin is suited for use in tooling plates, mold bases, fixture assemblies, and machine components where repeatable positional accuracy is required. The flat vent channel prevents hydraulic lock during insertion into blind holes, a common requirement in close-tolerance bored holes found in production tooling and die sets. The threaded extraction end allows removal with a standard drawbolt without the need for a press, making it practical for maintenance environments where the assembly must be regularly disassembled and reassembled. No specific compatible equipment models are stated by the manufacturer for this pin beyond the DIN 7979D dimensional and geometric standard.

Key Features

• Flat vent groove along pin body prevents hydraulic lock and allows lubricant escape during press-fit into blind holes
• Threaded end enables controlled extraction with a drawbolt, reducing risk of bore damage during disassembly
• Rounded end provides guided, low-force entry into the mating bore
• Alloy steel construction delivers the hardness and shear strength required for precision location duty
• Conforms to DIN 7979D standard for dimensional interchangeability with other DIN 7979D compliant components
• Package of 10 pins supports production and maintenance stock needs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or production component for any application specifying a DIN 7979D flat vent pull out dowel pin at 10 millimeters diameter and 32 millimeters overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of precision dowel pins is typically performed by a machinist or skilled maintenance mechanic. Power down and de-energize all equipment before working on the assembly. Press or drive the pin in using a properly aligned arbor press or soft-face mallet to avoid misalignment or bore damage. Use the threaded end with an appropriate drawbolt for removal rather than driving the pin out from the rounded end, which can damage the bore surface or distort the pin.
