Lockwasher for Secure Connections

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the M30408 part?
A: The M30408 is an industrial-grade lockwasher designed for manual pallet jack and material handling equipment fastener assemblies. Lockwashers are used to prevent fasteners from loosening due to vibration and repeated loading during normal equipment operation.

Q: What equipment does the M30408 lockwasher fit?
A: The M30408 is compatible with manual pallet jack platforms and axle assemblies where high-load fasteners require vibration resistance. Verify your equipment fastener specifications before ordering to ensure proper fit and compatibility.

Q: What material is the M30408 lockwasher made from?
A: The M30408 is manufactured from carbon steel with corrosion-resistant coating suitable for warehouse and dock environments. The material provides the strength and resilience necessary to resist fastener loosening under industrial material handling loads.

Q: How long does an M30408 lockwasher remain effective?
A: In standard warehouse and dock service, carbon steel lockwashers typically maintain effectiveness for 5-7 years. Service life depends on vibration frequency, load intensity, and environmental exposure. Regular fastener tightness inspection is recommended to verify lockwasher performance.

Q: Can the M30408 be used in wet or cold storage environments?
A: Yes. The M30408 lockwasher has corrosion-resistant coating suitable for wet, damp, and cold storage environments common in material handling operations. However, for extreme outdoor or salt-spray conditions, stainless steel alternatives may provide superior corrosion protection.
