Value Collection MSC-67601203 Pull Out Dowel Pin 5/16x0.5in Ss 18-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-67601203 is a standard pull out dowel pin machined from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It measures 5/16 inch in diameter and 0.5 inches in overall length, with a diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for precise, repeatable alignment. The pull out design includes a threaded or recessed end that allows the pin to be extracted from blind holes without damaging the mating components. At 0.0109 pounds per unit, it is a lightweight but dimensionally accurate fastener suited for close-tolerance assembly applications in manufacturing, tooling, and mechanical fabrication.

This dowel pin is used in applications requiring precise part alignment and repeatable positioning across production runs. Its 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for mildly corrosive environments, food-grade equipment, and general industrial machinery. The pull out feature makes it practical in assemblies where disassembly and re-pinning are routine maintenance tasks. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die specialists, and mechanical assemblers typically install this style of pin in jigs, fixtures, and machine subassemblies.

Key Features

• Pull out design enables pin removal from blind holes without component damage
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for industrial and food-grade environments
• Tight diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches ensures precise alignment repeatability
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional integrity without added coating thickness
• Compact size — 5/16 inch diameter by 0.5 inches length — suits close-clearance fixture applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard pull out dowel pin for use in jigs, fixtures, and mechanical assemblies requiring 5/16 inch diameter alignment pins in blind or through-hole configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by qualified machinists or mechanical assemblers using an appropriate extraction tool matched to the pin's pull out feature. De-energize and lock out all equipment before pinning or un-pinning any assembly per applicable safety standards. Ensure mating holes are clean, deburred, and within tolerance before pressing or driving the pin into position. Do not hammer the pin directly on the pull out end, as this can damage the extraction feature.
