Value Collection 34873 Pull Out Dowel Pin 1/8 X 1 in Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34873 is a standard pull out dowel pin designed for precision alignment and locating applications in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from alloy steel to a Grade 8 material specification, this pin measures 1/8 inch in diameter and 1 inch in overall length. It carries a Rockwell hardness rating of 50-58 HRC, giving it the wear resistance and shear strength required for repeated insertion and removal cycles. One end is beveled for easy entry into bored holes, while the opposite end is rounded for clean pull out. The 34873 conforms to ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standards and is suitable for use by machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance trades working on fixtures, jigs, and precision assemblies.

This pull out dowel pin is used in industrial and manufacturing environments where accurate part-to-part alignment must be maintained. The pull out end style allows the pin to be extracted without a press or special equipment, making it practical for assemblies that require regular disassembly or adjustment. Typical applications include machine tool fixtures, die sets, and precision machined components where hole-to-pin fit tolerance is critical. The 1/8 inch diameter is a common size in light-duty fixture work and small mechanical assemblies.

• Conforms to ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standard
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for precision fit in close-tolerance holes
• Double shear breaking strength measurement basis

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock pull out dowel pin for use in precision alignment applications conforming to ASME B18.8.2 specifications.

Installation Notes

Pull out dowel pins are installed by machinists and maintenance technicians using standard hand tools or a soft mallet. Power down and lock out all equipment before inserting or removing dowel pins from live machinery. Inspect the mating bored hole for proper diameter and surface finish before installation to avoid galling or pin seizure. Do not force an oversized pin into an undersized hole, as this can damage the pin, the bore, or both.
