Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the DA B16-97 roll pin used for on Dayton 4YX97 pallet jacks?
A: The DA B16-97 roll pin is a mechanical fastener that secures the piston rod to the carriage linkage or load mechanism. It prevents the rod from separating under load or during operation.
Q: What diameter and length is the DA B16-97 roll pin?
A: Specific dimensions for the DA B16-97 roll pin are determined by the connection point in the Dayton 4YX97 design. Verify the exact bore hole diameter and pin length against the original equipment specification before ordering.
Q: Why would a roll pin fail or need replacement?
A: Roll pins fail due to shear stress from overload, corrosion that weakens the pin, or repeated cycling fatigue. Signs of failure include the rod moving laterally in its connection point, visible play in the linkage, or the jack losing lifting action on one side.
Q: Is the DA B16-97 roll pin made from hardened steel?
A: Roll pins are typically manufactured from spring steel or hardened low-carbon steel with a hollow tube design that allows elastic deformation to maintain tension in the hole. This design provides vibration resistance and prevents loosening.
