Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the E-7272 washer used for in lift truck assemblies?
A: The E-7272 is a flat washer used in load wheel assemblies, axle connections, and structural fastening on electric pallet jacks and lift trucks. It distributes load across fastener heads, prevents bearing surfaces from scarring, and maintains proper spacing in wheel carriage and fork frame assemblies.
Q: What material and size is the E-7272 washer?
A: The E-7272 is a steel washer with zinc-plated or hardened finish. It is available in standard metric or imperial dimensions. Verify the inner diameter, outer diameter, and thickness match your bolt or pin size to ensure correct fitment and load distribution.
Q: Can the E-7272 washer be used in wet or cold storage environments?
A: The E-7272 is zinc-plated for corrosion resistance and performs well in wet warehouse and refrigerated environments. However, in harsh cold storage or high-moisture applications, stainless steel or specialty coated washers may offer longer life. Confirm material grade for your specific environment with us.
Q: How many E-7272 washers are needed per wheel assembly?
A: Washer quantity depends on your equipment design. Load wheel assemblies typically use 2 to 4 washers per axle bolt, with one on each side of the wheel hub and one under the fastener head. Consult your equipment manual or provide your model number for exact washer count.
Q: Is the E-7272 compatible with both metric and imperial fasteners?
A: The E-7272 comes in both metric and imperial sizes. Verify the washer ID and OD dimensions match your bolt or pin specifications. Using a mismatched washer size results in poor load distribution and potential fastener loosening under vibration.
