Locking nut
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What thread size and pitch does this locking nut use?
A: SKU 1.20E+46 is a metric or NPT locking nut with specifications matched to your specific equipment. Provide your pallet jack model or current part number and we will confirm exact thread size, pitch, and hex width to ensure proper fitment.
Q: What type of locking mechanism does this nut employ?
A: This locking nut (SKU 1.20E+46) may feature nylon insert, all-metal deformed thread, or castellated design. The specific locking method depends on your application requirements. Contact us with your equipment details and we will confirm whether this is a prevailing-torque nut or requires a cotter pin.
Q: Which load wheel and bearing assemblies use this locking nut?
A: This locking nut secures load wheel axles, drive shaft couplings, and bearing housings on Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and similar pallet jacks. Confirm compatibility by cross-referencing your OEM part number with SKU 1.20E+46.
Q: Can I reuse this locking nut after removal?
A: Reusability depends on nut type. Nylon-insert nuts (nylock) lose locking effectiveness after 3-5 removal cycles and must be replaced. Deformed-thread or castellated nuts can be reused if the thread is undamaged. For SKU 1.20E+46, contact us to confirm reusability for your specific nut design.
Q: What causes locking nut loosening or rotation?
A: Locking nuts loosen due to vibration, inadequate torque during installation, or worn locking mechanism. If you experience nut rotation on load wheel or bearing assemblies, replace with a new locking nut (SKU 1.20E+46). Do not reuse nylon-insert nuts that have cycled multiple times.
Q: What is the material and corrosion resistance?
A: This locking nut is typically manufactured from steel with zinc plating or stainless steel for cold storage and wet environment resistance. For applications in freezer units or humid climates, specify stainless steel. Contact us with your operating environment and we will recommend the correct material grade.
