Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the shaft dimensions for CR 050012-049?
A: CR 050012-049 is designed for a 1.25 inch shaft diameter with a 1.176 inch groove diameter. This external snap ring requires precise shaft sizing for proper retention and performance.
Q: What hardness specification does CR 050012-049 meet?
A: CR 050012-049 has a Rockwell C48 hardness rating. This hardness level is critical for maximum axial retention and prevents deformation under load on Crown WP 3000 series equipment.
Q: Which Crown electric pallet truck models fit CR 050012-049?
A: CR 050012-049 is the OEM retaining ring for Crown WP 3000 and WP3000 series electric pallet trucks. The part number 050012-049 is the Crown manufacturer designation.
Q: How does CR 050012-049 compare to CR 050012-048?
A: CR 050012-049 differs from CR 050012-048 in shaft size. CR 050012-049 fits 1.25 inch shafts while CR 050012-048 fits 1/2 inch shafts. Both are spring steel with phosphate finish but are not interchangeable due to different groove diameters.
Q: What is the purpose of the phosphate finish on CR 050012-049?
A: The phosphate finish provides rust and corrosion resistance. This is especially important for retaining rings used in electric pallet truck gearbox assemblies where moisture and minor impacts are common.
