Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is YL 524187950 and what function does it perform?
A: YL 524187950 is a precision-machined axle shaft for Yale electric pallet trucks. It serves as the load wheel axle, providing the rotating spindle upon which load wheels mount. The shaft transfers steering and drive forces to the wheels.
Q: What material and construction method is used in YL 524187950?
A: YL 524187950 is manufactured from case-hardened alloy steel through precision machining. The case-hardening process creates a hard exterior surface that resists wear and abrasion while maintaining a tough core for shock load resistance. The shaft is oil-coated for corrosion protection.
Q: What weight class of equipment is YL 524187950 designed for?
A: YL 524187950 is engineered for 6000-pound class electric pallet trucks. Do not use this shaft on equipment rated for different capacity classes, as it is specifically sized and hardened for this load rating.
Q: Does YL 524187950 include lubrication provisions?
A: Yes. YL 524187950 includes an integrated grease fitting that allows lubrication delivery to the shaft and wheel bearing surfaces. Regular greasing through this fitting extends bearing life and smooth rotation.
Q: What alternate part numbers are associated with YL 524187950?
A: YL 524187950 cross-references as Yale part 524187950 and manufacturing reference YT524187950. These designations refer to the same precision axle shaft component.
Q: How long does a YL 524187950 shaft typically remain serviceable?
A: YL 524187950 lifespan depends on equipment usage hours, load cycles, and maintenance frequency. The case-hardened alloy steel construction is designed for multi-year service in industrial duty. Replace only if the shaft shows visible bending, spalling, or excessive play in wheel bearings.
