Product Description
Brass Bushing, 5/8
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the RL 38 brass bushing used for?
A: The RL 38 is a 5/8 inch brass bushing designed for Rol-Lift manual pallet jacks. Brass bushings provide low-friction bearing surfaces for pivot points and moving components in the lift mechanism.
Q: What are the dimensions of the RL 38 bushing?
A: The RL 38 is a 5/8 inch brass bushing. Verify the bore diameter, outer diameter, and length against your equipment specifications before ordering to ensure proper fit.
Q: Why is brass used for the RL 38 bushing?
A: Brass provides excellent low-friction properties and wear resistance compared to steel-on-steel contact. This material choice reduces wear on the shaft, extends component life, and maintains smooth operation of the lift mechanism.
Q: When should the RL 38 brass bushing be replaced?
A: Replace the RL 38 when you notice increased friction, loose fit on the shaft, or grinding sounds during lift operation. Worn bushings reduce precision and can cause damage to surrounding components if not replaced.
Q: How long does a brass bushing like the RL 38 typically last?
A: Bushing lifespan depends on load cycles, maintenance, and lubrication frequency. Properly maintained and regularly lubricated brass bushings can last several years before showing significant wear.
