Value Collection 40115 Pull Out Dowel Pin 1/2x1 in Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 40115 is a standard pull out dowel pin designed for precision alignment and location of mating components in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel with a bright uncoated finish, this pin measures 0.5 inches in diameter and 1 inch in overall length with a diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches. One end is beveled and one end is rounded, allowing for controlled insertion and clean extraction. This pin is manufactured to ASME B18.8.2 standards and delivers a single shear strength of 29,450 pounds and a double shear strength of 58,900 pounds. Licensed machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians install this type of fastener in production and repair applications.

This dowel pin is suited for use in jigs, fixtures, dies, and machine components where precise hole-to-hole alignment is required. The pull out style is used where disassembly is a routine part of the workflow, allowing the pin to be extracted without damage to the bore or surrounding material. Typical applications include fixture plates, mold bases, hydraulic manifolds, and machine tool components across both industrial manufacturing and MRO environments. Sold in a package quantity of 10 pins per order.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.8.2 pull out dowel pin suitable for use in any application requiring a 0.5-inch nominal diameter precision locating pin in alloy steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a press or mallet with a suitable driver. Always ensure the mating bore is reamed to the correct tolerance before installation to avoid galling or seizing the pin. For pull out style pins, verify that the extraction feature is accessible before final assembly. Consult applicable machinery safety procedures and lock out or tag out equipment before disassembling or reassembling pinned components.
