Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the 80179-76008-71 differ from the 80179-76001-71?
A: Both are nylon insert locking nuts for material handling equipment. The difference is in thread size or diameter. Verify your equipment shaft diameter and thread pitch to select the correct part number. Do not substitute between these parts without confirming compatibility.
Q: What forklift and pallet jack equipment uses the 80179-76008-71?
A: This locking nut is compatible with material handling equipment from Crown, Jungheinrich, Linde, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other OEM manufacturers. Confirm thread pitch and shaft diameter match before ordering.
Q: What material is the 80179-76008-71 locking nut made from?
A: The nut is steel with a nylon insert collar. The steel provides strength; the nylon creates friction against the bolt thread to resist vibration loosening. This design is standard across material handling equipment applications.
Q: Should I use a torque specification when installing this locking nut?
A: Yes. Consult your equipment manufacturer documentation for the correct torque value for this specific shaft and nut size. Over-torquing damages the nylon insert and reduces locking effectiveness. Under-torquing allows bolt movement. We recommend following OEM specifications.
