Keeping Rail on Track with Vented Dowel Pins

For customers in the railway industry, precision and reliability are non-negotiable. One of our long-standing clients regularly sources dowels with Air Release Flats from Pinstructure, in sizes both large and small, to keep their operations running smoothly.

Air Release Flats are a core part of Pinstructure’s manufacturing expertise. They allow dowel pins to be installed and extracted easily without damaging the part, a feature especially valued in heavy-duty rail applications. This capability is available across our wide range of parallel dowel pins, which are manufactured to international standards including British Standard (BS1804), ISO, and DIN.

The customer was particularly pleased to find a single, reliable source for dowel pins with Air Release Flats in multiple materials, Mild Steel, Stainless Steel, and Silver Steel, all supplied with a fast turnaround. With Pinstructure’s in-house capacity, we can deliver to exact requirements, whether that means a micro batch of just a few parts or production runs reaching hundreds of thousands.

This flexibility ensures that whether you need immediate replacement stock, small custom quantities, or large-scale supply, Pinstructure has the capability to deliver quickly and consistently. It’s this balance of technical expertise, quality assurance, and responsive service that makes us the trusted partner for rail industry customers and beyond.

From mass stock to specialist micro batches, Pinstructure keeps you moving.
