LOCKWASHER
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a lockwasher and why is the 525007 needed?
A: A lockwasher (525007) prevents fasteners from loosening due to vibration and repeated stress in material handling equipment. Manual pallet jacks experience constant vibration during transport and use, making lockwashers essential for maintaining secure connections on wheels, brakes, and load-bearing linkage.
Q: Where is the 525007 lockwasher used on manual pallet jacks?
A: Lockwashers are used under bolt and screw heads throughout the pallet jack assembly, including wheel axles, brake components, pump connections, and frame joints. Any fastener subject to vibration or load stress benefits from a lockwasher.
Q: What material is the 525007 lockwasher made from?
A: Manual pallet jack lockwashers are typically manufactured from hardened steel to withstand repeated compression and vibration. Steel construction ensures the washer maintains its locking tension over extended equipment lifespan.
Q: How often should lockwashers like the 525007 be replaced?
A: Replace lockwashers whenever you disassemble fasteners for maintenance or component replacement. Do not reuse lockwashers after removal, as they lose locking tension after initial compression. Always use new lockwashers when reassembling pallet jack components.
Q: Does the 525007 work with different bolt sizes?
A: Lockwashers are size-specific and designed to fit particular bolt diameters. The 525007 is engineered for a specific fastener size used on manual pallet jack assemblies. Verify the bolt diameter matches before ordering to ensure proper fit and locking function.
