Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a snap ring and what does the PR 26672 do?
A: The PR 26672 is a retaining snap ring (also called a snap ring clip or lock ring) used to hold components such as bearings, wheels, or spacers securely onto an axle or shaft. The snap ring sits in a groove and prevents axial movement of the component.
Q: What equipment uses the PR 26672 snap ring?
A: The PR 26672 snap ring is used in electric lift truck load wheel assemblies, steer wheel assemblies, and drive mechanisms from manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and other OEM brands. Verify that your equipment design and shaft specifications match the snap ring size and type.
Q: What material is the PR 26672 made from?
A: Snap rings like the PR 26672 are typically manufactured from high-carbon steel and heat-treated to provide spring force and durability. This material resists corrosion and fatigue during repeated use in material handling equipment.
Q: How do I know if the PR 26672 snap ring needs replacement?
A: Replace the PR 26672 if it is visibly bent, cracked, deformed, or if a wheel or bearing component shifts or wobbles on the axle despite the snap ring being in place. A worn or damaged snap ring cannot hold components securely, which can cause equipment failure or unsafe operation.
Q: Are there different types of snap rings and is the PR 26672 interchangeable with other snap rings?
A: Snap rings come in internal and external types, and in various sizes to fit different shaft diameters and groove dimensions. The PR 26672 is designed for a specific shaft size and groove type. Do not substitute a different snap ring without confirming the shaft diameter and groove specifications match exactly.
