Value Collection EH-40074 Dowel Pin 1/4 X 1-1/4 in Alloy Steel Gr8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION EH-40074 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 uncoated finish, this pin measures 0.25 inches in diameter and 1.25 inches in overall length. It meets ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standards and carries a single shear strength of 7,360 pounds and a double shear strength of 14,720 pounds. One end is beveled and one end is rounded, which is the standard pull-out configuration that allows controlled installation and removal with a threaded extraction tool. Machinists, tool and die workers, and maintenance technicians install these pins in jigs, fixtures, dies, and precision assemblies.

This dowel pin is suited for use in manufacturing fixtures, mold alignment, machine tool setups, and general industrial assembly where tight positional tolerances are required. The 0.0002 inch diameter tolerance class ensures a consistent press or slip fit in reamed holes per ASME B18.8.2. Sold in a package quantity of 25, this pin is appropriate for both production and maintenance stocking applications across metalworking and industrial environments.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction delivers high shear strength for demanding alignment applications
• Single shear strength of 7,360 pounds and double shear strength of 14,720 pounds
• ASME B18.8.2 compliant for standardized dimensional fitment
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for precise hole fitment in reamed bores
• One beveled end and one rounded end for pull-out style installation and extraction
• Bright uncoated finish maintains close tolerances without added coating buildup

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard stocking pin for use in fixtures, jigs, dies, and precision mechanical assemblies requiring ASME B18.8.2 compliant dowel pins with a 0.25 inch diameter and 1.25 inch length.

Installation Notes

Pull out dowel pins are typically installed and removed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a threaded extractor tool engaged in the tapped pull-out end. The mating hole should be reamed to the appropriate tolerance class before installation. Always de-energize and lock out any machinery before servicing components that contain dowel pins. Do not drive pull out style pins with a hammer, as this can damage the threaded extraction feature.
