Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the purpose of the EA E171 top seal?
A: The EA E171 is a top seal for the hydraulic ram assembly. It seals the gap between the ram cylinder and rod, preventing hydraulic fluid leakage and contamination from entering the internal cylinder bore.
Q: What manual pallet jack models use the EA E171 top seal?
A: The EA E171 top seal is designed for Eagleman manual pallet jacks equipped with the matching ram cylinder. Confirm the ram cylinder type and bore diameter match your equipment before ordering.
Q: How do you know when the EA E171 seal needs replacement?
A: Replace the top seal if hydraulic fluid is leaking from the top of the ram cylinder, if the jack will not hold pressure at height, or if visible deterioration or cracks are visible on the seal surface.
Q: What material is the EA E171 top seal made from?
A: Top seals are typically manufactured from elastomer compounds such as nitrile rubber, which resists hydraulic fluid degradation and maintains flexibility across temperature ranges in warehouse and storage environments.
Q: How often should the EA E171 top seal be replaced?
A: Seal lifespan depends on hydraulic fluid condition, equipment usage, and environmental storage. In normal warehouse operation, most seals last several years. Replace sooner if leaking or pressure loss is detected.
