Value Collection 40117 Pull Out Dowel Pin 0.5x1.5 in Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 40117 is a standard pull out dowel pin machined from Grade 8 alloy steel with a bright uncoated finish. At 0.5 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches in overall length, this pin is designed for precise alignment and location of mating components in jigs, fixtures, dies, and machine assemblies. It features one beveled end and one rounded end for guided insertion and pull-out removal. Single shear strength is rated at 29,450 pounds and double shear strength at 58,900 pounds. Manufactured to ASME B18.8.2. Sold in packages of 10.

Pull out dowel pins in this size are commonly used in metal fabrication shops, tool and die operations, and general industrial assembly where repeatable part location is required. The Grade 8 alloy steel construction and tight diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches make this pin suitable for close-tolerance holes where alignment accuracy is critical. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians install these pins in both production and repair applications.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.8.2 pull out dowel pin for use in 0.5-inch diameter location holes in jigs, fixtures, dies, and general machine assemblies requiring precise component alignment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a press or mallet with an appropriate driver. Confirm hole diameter and tolerance before installation to ensure proper fit. Always de-energize and lock out machinery before installing or removing locating pins in live equipment. The pull out style allows removal with standard extractors or pull-out tools without damaging the mating bore.
