Precision Fit & Assembly Performance
Controlled Diameter Tolerance
The m6 diameter tolerance provides a controlled fit between the pin and mating hole, supporting accurate positioning and consistent assembly results.
Stable Interference Fit
Precise dimensional control helps maintain the required interference fit, reducing unwanted movement between connected components during operation.
Reliable Component Alignment
The cylindrical geometry provides a consistent locating reference for molds, fixtures, machinery, and other precision assemblies.

ISO 8734 dowel pins Quality Control & Inspection

- Incoming Material Inspection
All incoming steel materials are sampled and inspected to verify material specifications and ensure conformity before production.
- In-Process Sampling Inspection
Samples are taken during production to check critical dimensions, hardness, and other key requirements, helping maintain consistent quality throughout the batch.
- Final Inspection
Finished dowel pins undergo final inspection to verify dimensions, hardness, surface condition, and overall conformity with ISO 8734 or customer specifications before shipment.
FAQ
Can ISO 8734 pins be used in assemblies with frequent maintenance?
Yes. They can be used where components need to be repeatedly aligned after maintenance or disassembly, provided the fit and installation method are appropriately designed.
How do I select the appropriate pin length?
The length should account for the thickness of the components being aligned and the required engagement depth in each mating part. The final selection should be based on the assembly drawing.
Can these pins be supplied for replacement of existing parts?
Yes. Existing pin dimensions, applicable standard, and assembly drawings can be used to confirm whether an equivalent specification is suitable for replacement.
What is the typical application of ISO 8734 dowel pins?
They are commonly used as locating elements in molds, dies, fixtures, machine tools, and precision mechanical assemblies where repeatable component positioning is required.
