Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the AC313 thrust plate?
A: The AC313 is a thrust plate component used in steering or wheel assemblies on pallet jacks. A thrust plate manages axial loads and prevents wheels or other rotating components from shifting laterally along the axle during operation.
Q: What equipment does the AC313 thrust plate fit?
A: The AC313 thrust plate is designed for Noblelift model AC55 pallet jacks. Confirm your equipment model matches before ordering this component.
Q: What materials are used in the AC313 thrust plate?
A: The AC313 is typically manufactured from steel or hardened alloy material to provide the rigidity and durability needed to resist the lateral forces generated by rotating wheels and turning maneuvers during normal jack operation.
Q: Why is a thrust plate like the AC313 important?
A: A thrust plate prevents wheel creep, misalignment, and premature bearing wear by containing axial movement. Without a proper thrust plate, wheels can shift on the axle, causing uneven wear, steering difficulty, and potential equipment failure.
Q: When should the AC313 be inspected or replaced?
A: Inspect the AC313 during routine maintenance. Replace it if you observe bending, warping, cracks, or if wheels are shifting sideways on the axle. A worn or damaged thrust plate should be replaced promptly to prevent steering problems and bearing damage.
