Value Collection EH-40077 Dowel Pin 1/4x2 in Alloy Steel Gr8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION EH-40077 is a standard pull out dowel pin manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Measuring 0.25 inches in diameter and 2 inches in overall length, this pin is used to align and locate machine components with high precision. It conforms to ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standards and features one beveled end and one rounded end for controlled installation and extraction. With a single shear strength of 7,360 pounds and a double shear strength of 14,720 pounds, this pin is suited for demanding load-bearing alignment applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. Sold in a package quantity of 25.

This dowel pin is appropriate for use in precision machining, tooling, fixture building, and general industrial assembly applications. The pull out design facilitates removal from blind holes without damage to the mating component. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians working on machine tools, jigs, fixtures, and production equipment will find this pin well suited for repeatable positional alignment where tight tolerances are required. The Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides the hardness and shear resistance needed for heavy-duty industrial use.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides high shear strength for demanding alignment applications
• Single shear strength of 7,360 pounds and double shear strength of 14,720 pounds
• One beveled end and one rounded end for guided insertion and easy pull-out extraction
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for precision-tolerance fits in machined bores
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for consistent, repeatable locating accuracy
• Meets ASME B18.8.2 fastener standard for dimensional compliance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-install dowel pin for industrial machinery, tooling fixtures, jigs, and mechanical assemblies requiring precision 0.25-inch diameter alignment pins per ASME B18.8.2.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin press or mallet with a proper driver to avoid deforming the pin ends. The receiving bore should be reamed to the appropriate tolerance before installation to ensure proper fit. Always de-energize and lock out machinery before servicing or replacing dowel pins. Do not force a pin into an undersized bore, as this may compromise alignment accuracy and shear strength.
