Circlip
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the BA 9455622247 circlip do?
A: The BA 9455622247 is a retaining circlip that holds components in place on pallet jack wheel axles and pump shafts. It prevents axial movement of bearings, wheels, or gears while remaining removable without permanent deformation.
Q: What manual pallet jacks use this circlip?
A: The BA 9455622247 is OEM for Baker manual pallet jacks and compatible with similar equipment from other manufacturers. Verify the exact application and axle diameter before ordering, as circlip specifications are size-critical.
Q: What are the diameter and thickness specifications?
A: The BA 9455622247 is a standard metric circlip. Dimensions include an inner bore diameter and radial thickness sized to fit grooved axles common in pallet jack wheel assemblies. Verify groove dimensions match before use.
Q: What causes circlip failure?
A: Circlips fail due to plastic deformation if seated in a groove that does not match specifications, metal fatigue from vibration, or corrosion weakening the material. Improper removal using wrong tools can deform the clip permanently.
Q: How long does a circlip typically last?
A: In normal pallet jack service, a circlip should last 5 to 10 years without replacement if properly seated and protected from corrosion. Wet or salt-spray environments may reduce lifespan. Regular inspection for corrosion pitting is recommended.
Q: What are the signs that this circlip needs replacement?
A: Replace if the circlip shows visible rust pitting, loss of spring tension (loose fit in groove), cracking, or if the component it secures has begun to move axially. A corroded or weak circlip will not reliably prevent component separation.
