Value Collection -34879-1 Dowel Pin 3/16 X 7/8 in Alloy Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -34879-1 is a standard pull out dowel pin designed for precision alignment and location of mating components in mechanical assemblies. Machined from alloy steel to Material Grade 8, it measures 3/16 inches in diameter and 0.875 inches in overall length. The pin features one beveled end and one rounded end, conforming to ASME B18.8.2. Rockwell hardness is rated at C 50-58, providing strong resistance to wear and deformation under load. Double shear breaking strength applies. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance mechanics install these pins in fixtures, jigs, dies, and structural assemblies requiring repeatable, tight-tolerance part positioning.

This dowel pin is suited for use in manufacturing, industrial maintenance, and fabrication environments where controlled fit and alignment are required. It is appropriate for both original equipment assembly and replacement or repair applications. The pull out style with a beveled lead end allows easier removal compared to standard straight dowels, making it a practical choice in assemblies that require periodic disassembly. Package quantity is 25 pins per order.

Key Features

• Alloy steel construction, Material Grade 8 for high strength and hardness
• Rockwell hardness C 50-58 for wear resistance under repeated loading
• One beveled end and one rounded end per ASME B18.8.2 standard
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for precision fit applications
• Double shear breaking strength measurement
• Pull out style design for easier removal during maintenance or disassembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock component for mechanical assemblies requiring ASME B18.8.2 standard pull out dowel pins at 3/16 inch diameter and 7/8 inch length.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of hardened dowel pins is typically performed by machinists or maintenance mechanics using a press or appropriate driving tool. Always ensure the mating hole is reamed to the correct tolerance before pressing the pin to avoid galling or seizure. Use a proper extraction tool when removing pull out style pins to avoid deforming the pin or the bore. Follow applicable facility safety and lockout/tagout procedures before servicing any assembly containing these components.
