Value Collection 34914 Dowel Pin 1/2x2 in Alloy Steel Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34914 is a standard pull out dowel pin designed for precision alignment and locating applications in machined assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel, this pin measures 1/2 inch in diameter and 2 inches in overall length. It features one beveled end and one rounded end, which aids in guided insertion and extraction. The 50-58 HRC hardness range delivers the wear resistance and shear strength required for demanding industrial and mechanical assembly environments. Licensed machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians typically install and service these components.

This dowel pin is suited for use in fixtures, jigs, dies, and precision-machined components where tight positional tolerances are required. The diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches ensures accurate fit in reamed holes. Sold in a package of 10 pins, this SKU is appropriate for shop stock, MRO supply, and production assembly operations where consistent, repeatable alignment is critical. The double shear breaking strength measurement reflects real-world fastener loading conditions common in mechanical assemblies.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or stock pin conforming to ASME B18.8.2, suitable for use in precision-reamed holes in machined metal assemblies requiring 1/2 inch diameter pull out dowel pins.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a press or appropriate driving tool. Always ensure the mating hole is reamed to the correct tolerance before installation to avoid galling or seizure. Power down and de-energize any machinery before servicing components that incorporate dowel pins. Use proper extraction tools designed for pull out style pins to avoid damaging the host bore during removal.
