Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CR 50010-015 lockwasher used for on electric lift trucks?
A: The CR 50010-015 is an OEM lockwasher engineered for electric lift truck assemblies. It provides anti-rotation and load retention on fastened connections in pump, motor, and drive assemblies. This component prevents fasteners from loosening due to vibration and cyclic stress common in powered material handling equipment.
Q: What material and finish does the CR 50010-015 lockwasher have?
A: The CR 50010-015 is manufactured from hardened carbon steel with a corrosion-resistant finish suitable for indoor and outdoor electric lift truck use. The lockwasher design features twisted or bent tines that resist fastener rotation under load and vibration.
Q: Which electric lift truck brands and models is the CR 50010-015 compatible with?
A: The CR 50010-015 is an OEM Crown component. Verify compatibility with your specific electric lift truck model and fastener size before ordering, as lockwashers are sized to match bolt or screw specifications in your assembly.
Q: How long does a lockwasher typically remain effective?
A: Lockwashers maintain their locking function for the life of the fastener connection when properly installed on the correct size bolt or screw. If a fastener has loosened in service, the lockwasher should be replaced along with the fastener to restore anti-rotation performance.
Q: Should I reuse a CR 50010-015 lockwasher if I remove a fastener?
A: No. Lockwashers are not reusable. Once removed, the deformation in the locking tines cannot be restored to factory specification. Always install a new lockwasher when reassembling connections to maintain proper fastener retention and vibration resistance.
