Value Collection 261349PR Pull Out Dowel Pin 0.5x3 in Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 261349PR 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 3 inches in overall length, with one rounded end and one threaded end for pull-out retrieval. The diameter tolerance is held to 0.0002 inches, ensuring close-fit performance in precision alignment and locating applications. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance mechanics install these pins to align mating components, fixtures, and machine parts where repeatable, accurate positioning is required.

This dowel pin is suited for use in industrial machinery, tooling fixtures, jigs, and mechanical assemblies where alloy steel strength and tight dimensional tolerances are needed. The threaded end allows the pin to be extracted from blind holes using a standard puller or threaded rod, making it practical in assemblies where disassembly and reassembly are routine. It is appropriate for both original equipment manufacturing and maintenance repair operations across general industrial and metalworking environments.

Key Features

• One rounded end and one threaded end for pull-out retrieval from blind holes
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile strength and wear resistance
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for precise alignment and close-fit applications
• Conforms to ASME B18.8.2 fastener standard
• 0.5-inch diameter by 3-inch length for medium-duty locating tasks

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-duty locating pin for use in fixtures, jigs, and mechanical assemblies requiring ASME B18.8.2-compliant pull out dowel pins with a 0.5-inch diameter and 3-inch length.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician. Ensure the mating bore is reamed to the appropriate tolerance and cleaned of debris before pressing or driving the pin into position. Power down and de-energize all equipment before servicing any assembly containing locating pins. Use a proper pin driver or press to seat the pin; do not strike the threaded end directly, as this can damage the thread form needed for extraction.
