Value Collection 261340PR Pull Out Dowel Pin Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 261340PR is a standard pull out dowel pin manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel to ASME B18.8.2 specifications. It measures 0.5 inches in diameter and 2.25 inches in overall length, with one rounded end and one threaded end to allow extraction with a standard threaded puller. The diameter tolerance is held to 0.0002 inches, making this pin suited for precision alignment and locating applications. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians install this type of pin where repeated removal is required without damaging the mating bore.

Pull out dowel pins are used in jigs, fixtures, dies, molds, and machine assemblies where accurate part registration is critical. The threaded end allows a puller tool to engage the pin for controlled removal, avoiding the need to drive the pin from the blind side. This pin is appropriate for both light-duty production fixtures and heavier industrial tooling applications where a 0.5-inch locating diameter is specified.

Key Features

• ASME B18.8.2 standard compliance ensures dimensional consistency for drop-in replacement use
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides high shear strength and hardness for demanding locating applications
• Threaded end accepts a standard puller for controlled, damage-free extraction
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches supports precision alignment in close-tolerance bores
• One rounded end and one threaded end configuration is the industry-standard pull out pin layout
• Compact 0.13-pound weight per piece makes handling and storage easy in toolroom environments

Compatibility

Designed as an ASME B18.8.2-compliant replacement or new-installation pull out dowel pin for any jig, fixture, die, or machine assembly calling out a 0.5-inch diameter standard pull out pin in Grade 8 alloy steel.

Installation Notes

Pull out dowel pins are installed by toolmakers or maintenance machinists and should be pressed or driven into a reamed hole sized to the specified interference or transition fit per the applicable engineering drawing. Always de-energize and lock out machinery before removing or installing locating pins in active equipment. Use a properly sized threaded puller tool matched to the pin thread to avoid stripping the threaded end during extraction. Do not hammer on the threaded end, as this can damage the threads and make future removal difficult.
