0.8mm Shafts | McMaster-Carr

Use dowel pins as pivots, hinges, shafts, jigs, and fixtures to locate or hold parts. For a tight fit, your hole should be equal to or slightly smaller than the diameter shown. Breaking strength is measured as double shear, which is the force required to break a pin into three pieces.

Stainless steel pins are more corrosion resistant than steel pins. Pins that are passivated offer added protection against corrosion and oxidation. Stainless steel pins are precision ground except for 1/64" diameter pins. 18-8 stainless steel pins offer a balance of strength and corrosion resistance. They may be mildly magnetic.

DIN 6325-m6 is functionally equivalent to DIN EN ISO 8734, with slight differences in hardness and length tolerances. ISO 2338-m6 is functionally equivalent to DIN 7 but the ends are chamfered instead of rounded .
