# ISO 8735 Internally Threaded Dowel Pins (ISO 8735) Specification

Pins · ISO 8735

Dimensional table, tolerance classes and the DIN / ISO / ASME parts that supersede or match this standard.

ISO 8735 specifies the dimensions and tolerances for internally threaded dowel pins (iso 8735). The full dimensional table is reproduced below, followed by the DIN, ISO and ASME parts that match or supersede it.

- **Standard:** ISO 8735
- **Product:** Internally Threaded Dowel Pins (ISO 8735)
- **Governing standards:** ISO 8735

Equivalence between national standards is dimensional, not always metallurgical. Check the property class separately when substituting.

![ISO 8735 Internally Threaded Dowel Pins (ISO 8735) Specification reference image](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Internally-Threaded-Dowel-Pin-—-GB-T-120.1-ISO-8735-Series-100-—-GB-T-120.1-ISO-8735.webp)

ISO 8735 is the standard cited for internally threaded dowel pins (iso 8735). This page sets out what the standard controls for this part, reproduces the dimensional table supplied against it, and notes the related designations referenced on drawings.

## ISO 8735 — Scope

ISO 8735 is "Parallel pins with internal thread, hardened".

## Tolerance & Product Grades

ISO 8735 does not divide internally threaded dowel pins (iso 8735) into product grades. Tolerances are given as limits on the individual dimensions in the table.

Where a general-tolerance class is cited on the drawing instead, it applies to the dimensions not otherwise toleranced.

## Dimensions Specified by ISO 8735

| Pin diameter d m6 (mm) | Internal thread | Thread depth (mm) | Hole H7 (mm) | Common length range (mm) | Hardness (HRC) | Extraction | Reference standard |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 6 | M4 | 10 | 6 | 16~60 | 58-62 | Threaded puller | ISO 8735 |
| 8 | M5 | 12 | 8 | 20~80 | 58-62 | Threaded puller | ISO 8735 |
| 10 | M6 | 16 | 10 | 24~100 | 58-62 | Threaded puller | ISO 8735 |
| 12 | M6 | 20 | 12 | 26~120 | 58-62 | Threaded puller | ISO 8735 |
| 16 | M8 | 25 | 16 | 30~160 | 58-62 | Threaded puller | ISO 8735 |
| 20 | M10 | 28 | 20 | 40~200 | 58-62 | Threaded puller | ISO 8735 |

## Companion Standards

ISO 8735 controls the geometry of internally threaded dowel pins (iso 8735). Surface finish is governed by separate finish standards such as ISO 4042 for electroplating, and corrosion testing by ISO 9227 (neutral salt spray). Mechanical performance is set by the documents specific to this part family — ISO 898-1 and ISO 898-2 apply to bolts, screws, studs and nuts, and not here.

## When to Specify ISO 8735

Choose ISO 8735 for international engineering work and OEM supply where ISO standards are the contractual reference. It is the default modern specification for internally threaded dowel pins (iso 8735).

Custom manufacturing · Made to drawing

## Need a pin to this standard in a non-standard size?

Parts built to ISO 8735 are already in the catalog, so a special is usually a variation on existing tooling rather than a new design — which is what keeps the cost down. Made by cold heading or turning.

Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.

## Applications & Industries

What Internally Threaded Dowel Pins are specified for, industry by industry. Stocked from 6 to 20 (nominal diameter).

### Industries that specify Internally Threaded Dowel Pins

- **Tooling & fixtures:** Locating plates and tooling to a repeatable position.
- **Mould & die making:** Alignment of die halves and inserts.
- **Gearboxes & housings:** Dowelled split housings.
- **Agricultural & plant:** Implement connections made and broken in the field.
- **Gearboxes & housings:** Dowelled joints where the bolts clamp and the pins locate.
- **Jigs, tooling & fixtures:** Locating plates and tooling so they reassemble in the same position.

### Typical applications

- locating two parts while the bolts do the clamping
- reamed H7 holes; the internally threaded form for blind holes
- locating two parts to a repeatable position
- pivot and hinge joints loaded in shear
- quick connections made and broken by hand

### Service conditions to specify against

- **Marine and coastal:** Available in A4 (316) stainless for chloride exposure — coastal structures, pool halls, water treatment and deck hardware, where A2 will eventually pit.
- **Hole preparation:** The hole is half the specification: a ground dowel needs a reamed H7 hole, a grooved or spring pin will hold in a drilled one.

Inside the plant

## Manufactured in our own plant

This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.

1. ![Wire rod feeding into a cold heading machine](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/09-wire-rod-feed-cold-heading-machine.webp) 01 **Cold heading** Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail. Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.
2. ![Thread rolling machine producing bolt threads](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/03-thread-rolling-machine-bolt-production.webp) 02 **Thread rolling** Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch. Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.
3. ![Baskets of bolts staged for heat treatment](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/05-heat-treatment-baskets-black-bolts.webp) 03 **Heat treatment** Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it. Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.
4. ![Zinc plated bolts in a treatment basket](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/23-zinc-plated-bolts-treatment-basket.webp) 04 **Surface treatment** Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list. Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Which edition of ISO 8735 does this table follow?

The table reproduces the dimensions we supply internally threaded dowel pins (iso 8735) to. We do not publish an edition year against it, so where the edition is contractually significant, cite the edition you require on the enquiry and we will confirm it against the table before quoting.

### What is ISO 8735?

ISO 8735 is "Parallel pins with internal thread, hardened".

### What does ISO 8735 specify for Internally Threaded Dowel Pins (ISO 8735)?

ISO 8735 specifies the dimensions and tolerances of internally threaded dowel pins (iso 8735). Material and property class are governed by separate documents.

### Does ISO 8735 specify the mechanical strength?

No. ISO 8735 controls the dimensional requirements for internally threaded dowel pins (iso 8735). Mechanical performance is set by the documents specific to this part family — ISO 898-1 and ISO 898-2 apply to bolts, screws, studs and nuts, and not to this product.

### How do I request a quotation?

Use the technical drawing on this page to pick the exact configuration, then submit it with the quote form. We respond within one business day.
