Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the function of the 128648-1 CAM, AXLE in an electric lift truck?
A: The 128648-1 is an axle cam component that provides mechanical drive wheel or steer wheel engagement within the axle assembly. The cam geometry controls when wheels engage during machine operation. Proper cam function ensures consistent traction and steering response.
Q: Which electric lift truck models are compatible with the 128648-1 cam?
A: The 128648-1 axle cam is used on electric lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Jungheinrich, and Linde. Confirm your truck model and axle designation before ordering. Different axle designs use different cam profiles, so verify correct fitment with your equipment specification sheet.
Q: What is the material composition of the 128648-1 cam?
A: The 128648-1 is machined from ductile iron or hardened steel with a wear-resistant surface profile. The cam is designed to withstand thousands of engagement cycles without deformation. The material resists shearing forces from drive or steer wheel actuation loads.
Q: What happens if the 128648-1 cam fails or is damaged?
A: A failed 128648-1 cam results in loss of drive engagement, steering loss, or unpredictable wheel engagement during operation. The truck becomes unsafe to operate and cannot maintain proper traction or directional control. Replace immediately. Do not operate equipment with a broken or worn cam.
Q: How do I identify if the 128648-1 cam is worn and needs replacement?
A: Signs of 128648-1 cam wear include grinding noises during wheel engagement, delayed or incomplete drive engagement, jerky acceleration, or steering that does not respond smoothly. Visual inspection of the axle assembly may reveal chipped or fractured cam edges. Replace the cam if any of these symptoms appear.
Q: Is part number 128648-1 interchangeable with 128648-001?
A: No. The 128648-1 and 128648-001 are separate part numbers and do not interchange. They may have different cam profiles or load ratings for different axle designs. Verify the exact part number required for your truck before ordering. Using the wrong part creates a safety and performance risk.
