Value Collection SF043077 Pull Out Dowel Pin 5/16x1 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SF043077 is a standard pull out dowel pin manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel and built to ASME B18.8.2. It measures 5/16 inch in diameter with an overall length of 1 inch, making it a compact, high-strength locating pin suited for precision alignment applications. One end is rounded for ease of insertion; the opposite end is threaded to accept a pull-out tool, allowing controlled removal from blind holes without damage to the mating bore or surrounding material. At 0.02 pounds, this pin is lightweight but delivers the hardness and shear strength expected from Grade 8 alloy steel construction.

This pin is used in jigs, fixtures, dies, and machine assemblies where repeatable part alignment is required. It suits applications in manufacturing, toolmaking, and general industrial maintenance where components must be located and re-located accurately across multiple assembly cycles. The threaded pull-out end is especially useful in installations where the pin must be removed frequently or where access to the driven end is restricted.

Key Features

• ASME B18.8.2 compliant standard pull out dowel pin
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high shear strength and hardness
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for precision locating fits
• One rounded end for smooth insertion; one threaded end for pull-out tool engagement
• Compact 5/16 x 1 inch profile suitable for tight fixture layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit locating pin for jigs, fixtures, and machine tooling requiring a 5/16 inch diameter standard pull out dowel pin conforming to ASME B18.8.2.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of dowel pins is typically performed by toolmakers or industrial maintenance mechanics using a press or mallet for insertion and a threaded pull-out tool on the threaded end for extraction. Ensure the mating bore is clean, properly sized, and free of burrs before driving the pin. De-energize and lock out all machinery before servicing any fixture or assembly containing locating pins. Do not exceed the rated shear load of the pin for the given application.
