Value Collection 34880 Pull Out Dowel Pin 3/16x1 in Alloy Steel Gr8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34880 is a standard pull out dowel pin manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel for use in precision alignment and fastening applications. At 3/16 inch in diameter and 1 inch in overall length, this pin meets ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standards. It features one beveled end and one rounded end, which aids in both installation and removal. The Rockwell C 50-58 hardness rating reflects a heat-treated construction suited to applications where shear resistance and dimensional repeatability are required. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and toolmakers typically specify this pin for jig, fixture, and machine assembly work.

This pull out dowel pin is used in industrial and precision manufacturing environments where accurate part-to-part alignment must be maintained across repeated assembly cycles. The pull out style is selected when the pin must be retrievable after assembly, making it common in fixtures, dies, molds, and tooling plates. The 3/16 inch diameter and 1 inch length make it appropriate for lighter-duty alignment tasks in both production and maintenance settings. Sold in packages of 25, this pin suits shops that keep standard sizes on hand for frequent use.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard pull out dowel pin for use in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and precision machine assemblies requiring retrievable alignment pins at the 3/16 inch nominal diameter.

Installation Notes

Pull out dowel pins are typically installed and removed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin press or appropriately sized driver. Ensure the receiving hole is reamed to the correct tolerance before installation to achieve the intended fit class. Inspect mating bores for burrs or contamination prior to seating the pin. Never strike the rounded end directly with a hammer without a proper driver to avoid deforming the end geometry or damaging the bore.
