Parallel pins and dowel pins are precisely manufactured fasteners for fixing or positioning mechanical parts. They are cylindrical and often have a tapered shape. Parallel pins are mainly used in mechanical engineering and trade to produce high-precision and torsion-resistant connections. There are different types, such as hardened and unhardened parallel pins as well as hardened and unhardened parallel pins with internal threads. High-quality parallel pins and dowel pins are used in complex technical systems where maximum precision and reliability are required, such as in motors, gears or surgical instruments. Parallel pins and dowel pins from Würth comply with the current DIN or ISO standards. They are characterised by exact and precise manufacturing and guarantee a long service life thanks to rust-resistant materials.
