Dowel / Parallel Pin:8 x 100mm - DIN 7/Steel

This parallel pin, also known as a dowel, is manufactured from steel to ensure durability and precision in mechanical assemblies. It is standardised to DIN 7, guaranteeing consistent tolerances and interchangeability with mating components. With a nominal diameter of 8 mm and a length of 100 mm, this specific size offers a balance of strength and fit for medium-duty applications. Buyers select this type of fastener for its ability to provide rigid location and alignment between parts, outperforming simpler pins in terms of shear strength. To choose the correct unit, verify that the 8 mm diameter matches your bore size and that the 100 mm length accommodates the required overlap and clamping space. The steel construction makes it suitable for general industrial use where high wear resistance is not the primary concern.
