Value Collection DPI906018-025B Dowel Pin 6mm X 18mm 25 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION DPI906018-025B is an alloy steel dowel pin designed for precise alignment and fastening applications in mechanical assemblies. Measuring 6 millimeters in diameter and 18 millimeters in pin length, this pin features one rounded end and one threaded end with a flat vent pull-out configuration. Alloy steel construction provides the strength and wear resistance needed for demanding industrial and machining environments. This package contains 25 pins, making it suitable for production or maintenance operations where multiple placements are required.

Dowel pins of this type are commonly used by machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians to align mating components such as fixtures, jigs, plates, and housings. The flat vent design allows air and fluid to escape during press-fit installation, reducing the hydraulic resistance that can cause bore damage. The threaded end enables removal with a standard extraction tool when disassembly is required.

Key Features

• Alloy steel construction for high strength and wear resistance
• Flat vent pull-out style allows air relief during press-fit installation
• One rounded end and one threaded end for controlled insertion and extraction
• 6mm diameter and 18mm pin length for precise dimensional fitment
• Package of 25 pins suits production and maintenance workflows

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric dowel pin for use in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, jigs, and precision-aligned components requiring a 6mm bore diameter.

Installation Notes

Dowel pin installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using an arbor press or appropriate driving tool. Ensure the receiving bore is clean, deburred, and dimensioned to the correct tolerance before installation. The flat vent channel relieves pressure during pressing, but force should still be applied evenly and gradually to avoid bore distortion. Use the threaded end with a slide hammer or extractor for removal rather than attempting to drive the pin from the blind end.
