Value Collection A996659 Flat Vent Pull Out Dowel Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A996659 is a flat vent pull out dowel pin manufactured from alloy steel to DIN 7979D standards. This pin measures 12 mm in diameter and 30 mm in overall length, featuring one rounded end and one threaded end for pull-out removal. Rockwell hardness is rated at C 57-63, providing resistance to deformation under load. This fastener is intended for precision alignment and locating applications in industrial, machining, and fabrication settings. Installation and removal are handled by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance professionals working with jigs, fixtures, and mechanical assemblies.

Flat vent pull out dowel pins are used where precision hole-to-hole alignment is critical and where the pin must be retrievable without damage to the mating components. The flat vent design relieves hydraulic pressure during press fitting, allowing smoother insertion and removal. The threaded end accepts a pull-out tool or threaded extractor, making this pin well suited for blind-hole applications in production fixtures, mold bases, and precision machine components. This pin is sold in packages of 10.

Key Features

• 12 mm diameter and 30 mm overall length for medium-duty locating applications
• Alloy steel construction with Rockwell hardness C 57-63 for wear and shear resistance
• One rounded end for guided insertion; one threaded end for pull-out extraction
• Flat vent channel relieves hydraulic pressure during press fitting into blind holes
• Sold in a package quantity of 10 with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 7979D-compliant flat vent pull out dowel pin suitable for use in precision fixtures, jigs, mold bases, and machine assemblies requiring a 12 mm locating pin with pull-out capability.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using an arbor press or hydraulic press for controlled insertion into reamed holes. The flat vent channel must face the blind end of the hole to allow trapped air and fluid to escape. Always power down and de-energize any equipment before servicing components that incorporate locating pins. Use the threaded end with an appropriate extractor tool for removal to avoid damage to the pin or the bore.
