PM 01.10

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the specifications of the PM 01.10 pivot axle?
A: The PM 01.10 is a hardened SAE 1045 carbon steel pivot axle measuring 0.75 inch diameter by 2.75 inch length. It features a precision ground finish and M18x1.5 threaded ends for secure assembly. The axle is rated for 5000 lbs service at a 24 inch load center, meeting high-cycle industrial duty requirements.

Q: What equipment does the PM 01.10 pivot axle fit?
A: The PM 01.10 is an OEM frame component engineered specifically for Palletmaster HSW manual pallet jacks. No cross-reference part numbers are available for this OEM component.

Q: Why is SAE 1045 carbon steel used for this pivot axle?
A: SAE 1045 case-hardened carbon steel provides the strength, wear resistance, and durability required for repeated pivot cycles under heavy load. This material specification ensures the axle meets the 5000 lbs service rating and maintains dimensional stability during extended industrial use.

Q: What does the precision ground finish on the PM 01.10 axle provide?
A: The precision ground finish ensures tight tolerances for proper fit with bushings and frame components. This finish reduces wear between mated parts and maintains smooth pivot action over the equipment life cycle.

Q: How should the PM 01.10 axle be maintained?
A: Inspect the axle regularly for scoring, cracks, or corrosion. The threaded ends should remain clean and free of debris. A worn or bent axle will cause binding or misalignment of the load wheels and should be replaced immediately to prevent safety issues and secondary damage to the bushing.
