Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 100-FE3 piston and pin assembly?
A: The 100-FE3 is a 0.50mm piston and pin assembly used in forklift hydraulic or pneumatic systems. This precision component operates the lift or tilt actuators in material handling equipment.
Q: Is the 100-FE3 interchangeable with other piston and pin assemblies?
A: Do not assume interchangeability between piston and pin models. Verify the exact bore diameter, pin size, material, and thread specifications from your equipment documentation. Even small dimensional differences can cause malfunction or damage.
Q: What causes a 100-FE3 piston and pin to fail?
A: Common failure causes include seal degradation, scored cylinder walls, contaminated hydraulic fluid, corrosion, or metal particles in the system. Operating pressure spikes or mechanical shock can also damage the pin or piston geometry.
Q: How should the 100-FE3 be stored before installation?
A: Store in original packaging in a clean, dry environment protected from moisture and dust. Do not expose to extreme temperature fluctuations or humid conditions that promote rust. Keep sealed until ready for use.
Q: What maintenance is required for equipment using the 100-FE3?
A: Monitor hydraulic fluid condition regularly, maintain system cleanliness, and inspect the piston rod for visible scoring or damage. Keep seals in good condition and monitor for leakage around the actuator rod. Regular fluid analysis can detect wear particles before component failure occurs.
