Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a retaining ring and what does it do?
A: A retaining ring is a fastener that secures components (such as axles, shafts, or pivot pins) within a groove, preventing axial movement. The CR 050013-049 is designed for electric lift truck assemblies where shaft retention and load stability are critical.
Q: What equipment type does the CR 050013-049 fit?
A: The CR 050013-049 is specified for use on Crown electric lift trucks. Verify your equipment type and model number in your service documentation before ordering to confirm this part is correct for your application.
Q: What specifications should I verify before ordering the CR 050013-049?
A: Confirm the groove diameter, groove depth, and shaft size on your electric truck component. Cross-reference your equipment service manual to verify the CR 050013-049 matches the retaining ring specification called out for your truck model. Incorrect sizing will result in improper retention.
Q: How do I identify a worn or damaged retaining ring on my lift truck?
A: Signs of retaining ring failure include visible axle or shaft movement, components sliding within their assembly, or a visibly deformed or missing ring in the groove. Address these issues immediately, as component movement compromises load stability and safety.
