Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the FAC21310 wheel cylinder used for?
A: The FAC21310 is a wheel cylinder component for Factory Cat forklifts and material handling equipment. It is part of the brake system that converts hydraulic pressure into mechanical force to apply brakes to the wheel assembly.
Q: How do I diagnose a failing FAC21310 wheel cylinder?
A: Symptoms of wheel cylinder failure include soft or spongy brake pedal, uneven braking response, brake fluid leaking from the wheel assembly, or one wheel braking harder than others. Loss of brake function is a safety hazard and requires immediate replacement.
Q: Is the FAC21310 compatible with all Factory Cat forklift models?
A: The FAC21310 fits specific Factory Cat forklift series and model years. Verify the cylinder bore diameter, rod length, mounting bolt pattern, and brake system type (whether your equipment uses disc or drum brakes) against your forklift documentation. Contact us with your equipment serial number and model for precise compatibility confirmation.
Q: What materials are used in the FAC21310 wheel cylinder?
A: The FAC21310 wheel cylinder is constructed from cast iron or ductile iron housings with internal chromed steel pistons and rubber seals. The housing is designed to withstand hydraulic pressure (typically 1500-3000 PSI in forklift brake systems) while the seals maintain pressure integrity and prevent fluid leakage.
