A273223

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What manual pallet jacks use the A273223 lockwasher?
A: The A273223 lockwasher is a hardened steel split-type washer compatible with manual pallet jack assemblies from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and similar brands. It is used under fasteners in load-bearing applications throughout the jack frame and linkage. Verify bolt diameter matches your equipment.

Q: What are the specifications and material of the A273223 lockwasher?
A: The A273223 is a split-ring or helical-coil lockwasher made from hardened carbon steel with protective plating. It provides spring tension under the bolt head or nut to maintain fastener tension under vibration and dynamic loads. OEM part number A273223 is engineered for warehouse equipment duty.

Q: What is the bolt size compatibility for the A273223 lockwasher?
A: The A273223 has a specific inner diameter designed to fit a particular bolt size. Check the bolt diameter in your equipment manual or cross-reference against your pallet jack model to confirm correct fit. Using the wrong lockwasher size reduces clamping force and fastener retention.

Q: How long does the A273223 lockwasher maintain tension under field use?
A: The A273223 maintains spring tension for the life of the fastener under normal warehouse duty. Tension degrades when the washer becomes flattened or when corrosion weakens the steel. Replace if bolts loosen repeatedly or if rust is visible on the washer surface.

Q: Is the A273223 a split lockwasher or helical coil design?
A: The A273223 is a split-type lockwasher with a radial slot. The split design provides continuous spring action as the washer resists rotation under the bolt head. This design is preferred for repeated assembly and disassembly cycles common in warehouse pallet jack maintenance and repair.
