Value Collection A996661 Flat Vent Pull Out Dowel Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A996661 is a flat vent pull out dowel pin manufactured from alloy steel and conforming to DIN 7979D standards. It measures 12 mm in diameter and 36 mm in overall length, with one rounded end and one threaded end for secure pull-out removal. This style of dowel pin is used in precision tooling, jigs, fixtures, and machine assemblies where exact alignment is required and controlled extraction without damage to the workpiece is a priority. Installation and removal is handled by machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians working with press-fit locating applications.

Flat vent pull out dowel pins are specified in manufacturing, fabrication, and industrial maintenance environments. The flat vent groove along the pin body allows trapped air and excess lubricant to escape during press-in installation, reducing the risk of hydraulic lock in blind holes. The threaded end accepts a removal tool or slide hammer for controlled extraction. This pin is appropriate for use in steel and cast iron assemblies requiring repeatable, high-tolerance locating.

Key Features

• DIN 7979D standard compliance for dimensional consistency and interchangeability
• 12 mm diameter and 36 mm overall length for standard medium-duty locating applications
• Alloy steel construction for strength and wear resistance in press-fit conditions
• Flat vent groove relieves air and lubricant pressure during blind-hole installation
• One rounded end and one threaded end for controlled pull-out removal
• Sold in a package quantity of 10 for bench stock and production use

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 7979D-compliant flat vent pull out dowel pin suitable for use in precision jigs, fixtures, dies, and machine tool assemblies requiring a 12 mm nominal bore diameter.

Installation Notes

Dowel pin installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using an arbor press or hand press fitted to the pin diameter. The receiving bore should be reamed to the appropriate tolerance per DIN 7979D specifications before installation. Power off and lock out all associated equipment before servicing assemblies containing locating pins. Do not drive pins with a hammer directly on the threaded end, as this will damage the removal thread.
