Pull Dowel Pins

Pull dowel pins are precision locating pins manufactured with an internally threaded hole that allows the pin to be removed using a mating screw or extraction tool. They are designed to provide accurate alignment and repeatable positioning of machine components while simplifying maintenance, inspection, and replacement. Unlike standard press-fit dowel pins, pull dowel pins can be extracted without prying against surrounding components, making them well suited for assemblies that require periodic disassembly.

Pull dowel pins are commonly used in tooling, fixtures, dies, molds, automation equipment, machine bases, jigs, inspection equipment, production machinery, and OEM assemblies where precise alignment is critical. Their precision-ground outside diameter helps maintain consistent component location while the threaded extraction feature reduces the risk of damage during servicing.

Proper dowel pin selection should consider pin diameter, overall length, hole tolerances, fit requirements, mating materials, and expected maintenance intervals. Individual product pages provide verified pin diameter, overall length, internal thread size where applicable, and other engineering dimensions to assist engineers and purchasing professionals in specifying the correct locating pin.

Cold Headers supplies pull dowel pins in a broad range of inch sizes and lengths, including uncommon and difficult-to-source configurations. Our catalog is organized to simplify exact-size sourcing while providing verified engineering information for industrial applications.

Selecting the Correct Pull Dowel Pin

Begin by confirming the required pin diameter and overall length. Review the receiving hole tolerances, required fit, internal thread size where applicable, mating materials, and maintenance requirements before selecting a dowel pin. Final product selection should reflect the alignment accuracy and service requirements of the completed assembly.
