Value Collection 34893 Pull Out Dowel Pin 5/16x1/2 Grade 8 25pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34893 is a standard pull out dowel pin designed for precise locating and alignment applications in machined assemblies. Manufactured from alloy steel at material grade 8, this pin meets ASME B18.8.2 dimensional and performance standards. It measures 5/16 inch in diameter with a 0.5 inch overall length and holds a Rockwell C hardness of 50-58, making it well suited to demanding industrial and tooling applications. The diameter tolerance is held to 0.0002 inches for consistent press-fit performance. One end is beveled for easy insertion and one end is rounded for smooth seating. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians typically install these pins in fixture and jig work.

These pins are used in metalworking, general manufacturing, and MRO settings where repeatable part location is critical. The pull out style is intended for applications where the pin must be extracted during disassembly rather than driven through. The beveled lead end allows for guided entry into close-tolerance bores. This package contains 25 pins, suitable for shop stock or single-job requirements in both production and maintenance environments.

Key Features

• ASME B18.8.2 compliant for standardized dimensional accuracy
• Alloy steel grade 8 construction with Rockwell C 50-58 hardness for wear resistance
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for reliable press-fit alignment
• One beveled end and one rounded end for guided insertion and flush seating
• Double shear breaking strength rating for load-bearing locating applications
• Sold in a package of 25 pins for shop stock convenience

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or shop-stock pull out dowel pin for use in machined fixtures, jigs, dies, and general industrial assemblies requiring close-tolerance locating hardware per ASME B18.8.2.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using an arbor press or hand tools appropriate for press-fit pin work. Ensure the receiving bore is clean, dimensionally correct, and within tolerance before driving the pin. De-energize and lock out any equipment before servicing assemblies containing these pins. Do not exceed the rated shear load for the pin diameter when designing or evaluating the joint.
