Value Collection 40060 Pull Out Dowel Pin 3/16x1/2 in Alloy Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 40060 is a standard pull out dowel pin designed for precision alignment and locating applications in mechanical assemblies. Machined from Grade 8 alloy steel with a bright finish, this pin measures 3/16 inch in diameter and 1/2 inch in overall length. It features one beveled end and one rounded end, conforming to ASME B18.8.2 standards. The 40060 delivers a single shear strength of 4,150 pounds and a double shear strength of 8,300 pounds, making it well suited for load-bearing alignment tasks in production and maintenance environments. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance mechanics are the primary installers.

This dowel pin is used in jigs, fixtures, dies, molds, and machine component assemblies where tight positional repeatability is required. The 3/16 inch diameter and 1/2 inch length suit compact assemblies where space is limited. The beveled lead end aids alignment and insertion, while the rounded opposite end provides a clean seating surface against mating bores. Sold in a package quantity of 25, this SKU supports shop floor restocking and low-volume production needs. Applications span general manufacturing, tool rooms, and equipment repair across a wide range of industries.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.8.2 pull out dowel pin suitable for use in any jig, fixture, die, or mechanical assembly requiring a 3/16 inch diameter locating pin with a 1/2 inch length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance mechanics using a press, arbor press, or driving tool appropriate for the bore fit class. Ensure the mating bore is clean, deburred, and dimensioned to the correct tolerance before pressing the pin. Do not hammer directly on the pin end without a proper driver to avoid damaging the finish or altering dimensional tolerances. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and wear appropriate eye protection when pressing or extracting pins.
