Value Collection 261253PR Pull Out Dowel Pin 3/8x3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 261253PR is a standard pull out dowel pin machined from Grade 8 alloy steel for use in precision alignment and locating applications. Measuring 3/8 inch in diameter and 3/4 inch in overall length, this pin features one rounded end and one threaded end, allowing for controlled extraction using a standard pull out tool. Manufactured to ASME B18.8.2 tolerances, the diameter holds to within 0.0002 inches, making it appropriate for close-tolerance work where positional accuracy is critical. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

This dowel pin is suited for fixturing, jig building, die sets, and machine component alignment in both production and maintenance environments. The threaded end enables clean removal without damage to surrounding bores or mating components, which is a key advantage in applications where pins must be regularly serviced or replaced. Typical installations are found in industrial machinery, tool and die assemblies, and precision fabricated fixtures where alloy steel strength and tight dimensional tolerances are required.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high shear strength and hardness
• One rounded end and one threaded end for controlled pull-out extraction
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for close-tolerance alignment applications
• Conforms to ASME B18.8.2 fastener standard
• Compact 3/4 inch length suitable for shallow bore or thin-plate applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard pull out dowel pin per ASME B18.8.2, compatible with 3/8 inch nominal diameter bored holes in tooling, fixtures, jigs, and machine assemblies requiring Grade 8 alloy steel locating pins.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a press or mallet for seating and a threaded pull-out tool for removal. Ensure the receiving bore is clean, deburred, and dimensionally verified before pressing the pin into position. De-energize and lock out all related machinery before servicing or replacing dowel pins. Do not exceed the rated shear load of the pin grade when designing load-bearing locating applications.
