Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BG 080-7E12 snap ring?
A: The BG 080-7E12 is a snap ring (circlip) that secures components onto shafts or axles in pallet jack assemblies. It prevents axial movement and component separation.
Q: Which pallet jack equipment uses this snap ring?
A: The BG 080-7E12 is compatible with wheel assemblies, load wheel kits, and handle mechanisms on Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster pallet jacks. Verify your equipment type and component before ordering.
Q: How do I know the correct snap ring size for my equipment?
A: The snap ring diameter and groove size must match the shaft or bore it secures. The BG 080-7E12 is designed for a specific shaft diameter. Measure your shaft and compare to the part dimensions before ordering.
Q: What causes snap ring failure?
A: Snap rings fail if they lose tension, are incorrect size, are installed incorrectly, or are over-stressed by component weight or load. Replace if the ring is deformed, cracked, or cannot hold tension.
Q: Is this a wear item or occasional replacement?
A: Snap rings are not typically wear items but can fail if stressed, corroded, or installed improperly. Replace only when damage is observed or during component replacement.
