Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the function of the 96150-3015071 snap ring?
A: A snap ring is a retaining clip that secures components (bearings, gears, shafts) on a shaft or in a bore, preventing axial movement. The 96150-3015071 is used in electric lift truck assemblies to hold critical drivetrain or steering components in place.
Q: Which electric lift truck models is the 96150-3015071 snap ring compatible with?
A: This snap ring is designed for electric lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Jungheinrich. Compatibility depends on shaft diameter and groove specifications. Verify dimensions against your equipment technical documentation before ordering.
Q: What are the material and durability specifications of this snap ring?
A: The 96150-3015071 is manufactured from spring steel with a hardened finish to resist fatigue and deformation under repeated loading. It maintains its retention force even after multiple assembly and disassembly cycles, making it suitable for lift truck duty applications.
Q: How do I verify the correct snap ring for my equipment?
A: Measure the shaft diameter and groove width where the snap ring seats. Compare these dimensions against the 96150-3015071 specifications. If dimensions match exactly, the snap ring will provide proper retention without binding or slipping.
Q: What causes snap ring failure in lift trucks?
A: Snap ring failure occurs from impact loading, metal fatigue after repeated shaft movement, corrosion weakening the material, or use of an incorrect size ring. If a snap ring becomes deformed, fractured, or no longer seats firmly, replace it immediately to prevent component loss during operation.
