Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the KO G44A297268P001 bushing and what does it do?
A: The KO G44A297268P001 is a polymer or elastomer bushing component used in Komatsu electric lift truck assemblies. Bushings reduce friction, vibration, and wear between metal components while providing vibration isolation. This part is typically part of the lift mast or carriage assembly.
Q: What are the dimensions and material specifications for the KO G44A297268P001?
A: The KO G44A297268P001 is made from engineered polymer or rubber compound designed for load-bearing applications. Bore and outer diameter dimensions are specific to the Komatsu model. Verify your assembly specifications and existing bushing dimensions before ordering.
Q: What symptoms indicate the KO G44A297268P001 bushing is worn out?
A: Worn bushings cause increased noise during mast operation, visible play or movement in the mast assembly, and potential binding or sticking during raise and lower cycles. Examine the bushing for visible cracks, flattening, or compressed appearance.
Q: Is the KO G44A297268P001 compatible with non-Komatsu lift trucks?
A: The KO G44A297268P001 is a Komatsu OEM part for specific Komatsu lift truck models. This part is not designed as a universal cross-brand bushing. Verify your lift truck manufacturer before ordering.
Q: What is the typical service life of the KO G44A297268P001 bushing?
A: In normal fleet service, expect 2 to 4 years of bushing life depending on daily mast cycles and load. High-cycle operations or rough mast handling reduce bushing life. Regular mast maintenance and lubrication can extend usable life.
