Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What function does the AT Z-1162 Ball serve in the hydraulic system?
A: The AT Z-1162 is a precision hardened carbon steel ball that functions as a check element in the hydraulic valve assembly. It regulates flow direction and prevents backflow in the hydraulic circuit, ensuring proper lift and lower control.
Q: Which Atlas pallet jack models use the AT Z-1162?
A: The AT Z-1162 Ball is designed for Atlas Zenith Type 9 manual pallet jack hydraulic units. Verify your pallet jack model and hydraulic assembly configuration before ordering.
Q: What material properties does this ball have?
A: The AT Z-1162 is manufactured from hardened carbon steel with precision sphericity tolerances. This material provides resistance to corrosion from hydraulic fluid, maintains consistent ball diameter for reliable seating, and withstands repeated pressure cycling without deformation.
Q: What symptoms indicate the AT Z-1162 is failing?
A: Signs of ball failure include inability to hold pressure (pallet jack will not stay lifted), piston drift during extended hold periods, or visible scoring and pitting on the ball surface. A compromised ball allows hydraulic fluid to bypass the check valve, resulting in load descent.
Q: Is the AT Z-1162 sold as a complete check valve assembly or individual component?
A: The AT Z-1162 is sold as an individual ball component. Check valve assemblies may include the ball, seat, spring, and housing together. Determine whether you need the ball only or the complete assembly based on which components are actually worn or damaged.
