Value Collection MSC-67601526 Dowel Pin 5/16x2 Ss 18-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-67601526 is a standard pull out dowel pin machined from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. At 5/16 inch in diameter and 2 inches in overall length, this pin is used to align, locate, or retain mating components in assemblies where precise positioning is required. The 18-8 stainless alloy provides good corrosion resistance and strength across a range of service environments. The bright finish indicates no secondary coating has been applied, keeping dimensional tolerances tight and predictable for close-tolerance bore fits. Diameter tolerance is held to plus or minus 0.0002 inches, supporting reliable press or slip fits in precision assemblies.

Pull out dowel pins are used in fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, machine frames, and structural assemblies across industrial, HVAC equipment manufacturing, and mechanical service applications. The pull out head design allows the pin to be removed from a blind hole without special extraction tools, making them practical in assemblies that require periodic disassembly or maintenance. Stainless steel construction makes this pin suitable for installations in humid or corrosive environments where carbon steel alternatives would degrade.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains close dimensional tolerances for precision bore fits
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches supports reliable press or slip fit applications
• Pull out head design enables removal from blind holes without special extraction tooling
• 5/16 inch diameter by 2 inch length suits a wide range of standard alignment applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard pull out dowel pin for use in precision alignment and locating applications across industrial machinery, fixtures, and mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/16 inch diameter pin in an 18-8 stainless steel grade.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or millwrights using standard press or mallet methods appropriate to the fit class of the mating bore. Ensure the receiving bore is clean, deburred, and dimensionally verified before pin installation. For press-fit applications, do not exceed the elastic limit of the bore material by driving pins with excessive force. Follow applicable machine safety lockout and tagout procedures before servicing any assembly containing dowel pins.
