Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the key specifications of the IN 140.6474 control rod?
A: The IN 140.6474 is a carbon steel control rod manufactured from SAE 1045 material with a Brinell hardness rating of 160 minimum. Dimensions are 245 mm overall length, 10 mm shaft diameter, 8 mm bore diameter, and M8 x 1.25 thread. The rod features clevis pin mounting configuration and a plain finish.
Q: Which pallet jack models does the IN 140.6474 fit?
A: The IN 140.6474 control rod is designed for Interthor manual pallet jack models K77 and K85. Verify that your equipment serial number falls within the compatible model range before ordering.
Q: Why is SAE 1045 carbon steel used for this control rod?
A: SAE 1045 carbon steel with Brinell 160 minimum hardness provides the strength and wear resistance needed for load actuation cycles in manual pallet jacks. The material is resistant to deformation under repeated load applications, which is critical for reliable pump operation.
Q: What maintenance is required for the IN 140.6474?
A: Inspect the control rod regularly for signs of bending, cracking, or corrosion, particularly where it interfaces with the clevis pin. Keep the threaded section and bore diameter free of dirt and debris. The plain finish should be wiped clean and dry; apply light machine oil if exposed to high humidity or wet environments to prevent surface rust.
Q: How long does the IN 140.6474 control rod typically last?
A: Service life depends on usage frequency and maintenance. Under normal operational conditions with proper maintenance, this control rod can perform reliably for several years. Failure typically occurs due to physical bending, corrosion, or thread stripping rather than material fatigue. Replace immediately if the shaft becomes bent or threads are damaged.
Q: Are there cross-reference part numbers for the IN 140.6474?
A: No alternative or cross-reference part numbers are available for the IN 140.6474. This is an original Interthor part. If you need to verify fitment, reference your equipment model number (K77 or K85) or contact us with your equipment specifications.
