Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BG 080-7117 screw used for?
A: The BG 080-7117 is a replacement fastening screw for hydraulic pump assemblies and control linkages on material handling equipment. It secures critical adjustment points and bearing housings.
Q: What are the thread specifications for the BG 080-7117?
A: The BG 080-7117 features metric threads with a specific pitch and diameter designed for Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale equipment. Verify the exact size against your parts diagram before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
Q: Is the BG 080-7117 compatible with stainless steel or aluminum components?
A: The BG 080-7117 is a hardened steel fastener with zinc plating. It is compatible with most pump housings and linkage brackets. However, if your equipment uses aluminum components or operates in salt-spray environments, confirm material compatibility to prevent corrosion or galvanic reactions.
Q: What torque specification should I use when securing the BG 080-7117?
A: Fastener torque specifications vary by application. Consult your equipment maintenance manual for the correct torque value for this screw. Over-tightening can strip threads or crack bearing housings. Under-tightening can cause vibration and loosening during operation.
Q: How many BG 080-7117 screws should I stock for routine maintenance?
A: Stock a minimum of 5 to 10 replacement screws per equipment unit. Fasteners are frequently lost during maintenance or corrode over time in storage areas. Keeping spares on hand reduces downtime when a screw needs replacement.
