Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CL 663834 snap ring used for?
A: The CL 663834 is a snap ring (retaining ring) used in Clark electric lift truck assemblies. It secures components on shafts and in bores to prevent axial movement during operation. This part is typically found in load wheel assemblies, drive mechanisms, and structural pivot points where retention under load is required.
Q: Which Clark lift truck models use the CL 663834 snap ring?
A: The CL 663834 is a Clark OEM snap ring compatible with Clark electric pallet jacks and electric lift trucks across multiple model generations. Verify the exact model and serial range of your equipment before ordering. Cross-reference your truck manual or contact us with your full model and serial information for compatibility confirmation.
Q: What material is the CL 663834 snap ring made from?
A: The CL 663834 snap ring is typically manufactured from spring steel, hardened and tempered to withstand repeated compression and expansion cycles. This material provides the necessary strength and elasticity to maintain secure retention under the dynamic loading conditions of material handling equipment.
Q: How do I know if the CL 663834 snap ring needs replacement?
A: Replace the CL 663834 if you observe component movement or rattling in the load wheel assembly, loss of spring tension making the ring sit loose in its groove, visible cracks or stress marks on the ring surface, or deformation that prevents proper seating. A failed snap ring can lead to shaft misalignment and accelerated wear on adjacent components.
Q: Is the CL 663834 available from other brands as an equivalent part?
A: The CL 663834 is a Clark OEM-specific part number. If you are running non-Clark equipment, consult your truck manual or parts diagram to identify the equivalent snap ring for your brand. Cross-reference by diameter and groove type with your equipment manufacturer.
