Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the function of the RA 114-008-685 pivot pin?
A: The RA 114-008-685 is a pivot pin used in Raymond electric lift truck assemblies. Pivot pins enable rotational movement of hydraulic cylinders, load frames, or steering linkages in the truck structure.
Q: What material is the RA 114-008-685 pivot pin constructed from?
A: Raymond pivot pins are manufactured from hardened steel to withstand shear forces and repetitive rotation cycles in industrial lift truck applications. Steel construction resists bending and wear under continuous operational stress.
Q: Which Raymond electric lift truck models use the RA 114-008-685 pivot pin?
A: The RA 114-008-685 is compatible with specific Raymond electric lift truck models. Verify your truck model and serial range against OEM documentation to confirm this pivot pin is the correct replacement.
Q: What dimensions should I verify before ordering the RA 114-008-685?
A: Confirm the pin diameter, overall length, and head configuration match your existing pivot pin. Measure the mounting holes on your equipment or consult the service manual to ensure correct fitment.
Q: How does wear on the RA 114-008-685 pivot pin affect equipment performance?
A: A worn or bent pivot pin creates excessive play in the pivot connection, causing misalignment of steering or hydraulic components. This results in uneven load distribution, reduced steering responsiveness, and potential safety hazards. Replace immediately if lateral movement or binding is detected.
Q: Is lubrication required for the RA 114-008-685 pivot pin?
A: Many pivot pin applications include lubrication fittings or bushing wear surfaces. Check your truck maintenance manual for specific lubrication intervals and recommended grease type to reduce friction and extend pin life.
