Retaining Ring for Electric Lift Truck

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the 46G294 retaining ring used for?
A: The 46G294 is a retaining ring that secures wheels, rollers, or other rotating components onto axle shafts in pallet jacks and lift trucks. It prevents axial movement and keeps parts from sliding or separating during operation.

Q: What materials is the 46G294 retaining ring made from?
A: This retaining ring is typically made from spring steel or stainless steel, depending on the application. Spring steel provides consistent tension and reusability. Stainless steel is used in corrosive or wet environments such as cold storage facilities.

Q: Is the 46G294 retaining ring reusable after removal?
A: Spring steel retaining rings can be carefully removed and reused multiple times if not bent or deformed during removal. Stainless steel rings may lose tension after removal. Best practice is to inspect for damage and replace if any distortion is visible.

Q: Which shaft diameters does the 46G294 retaining ring fit?
A: The 46G294 is designed for specific shaft diameters. Cross-reference your axle diameter against the product specifications to confirm fitment. Using an incorrectly sized ring will not provide proper retention and creates a safety hazard.
