Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a roll pin used for on a lift truck?
A: A roll pin (part 15-R-238) is a hollow spring pin used to secure shafts, levers, and assemblies together. It provides a removable fastening method that prevents components from shifting or rotating during operation.
Q: What are the dimensions of roll pin 15-R-238?
A: The 15-R-238 is a standard roll pin with specific diameter and length specifications designed for your application. Verify the pin diameter and length match your assembly holes before ordering. Using incorrect dimensions will cause assembly failure.
Q: What material is the 15-R-238 made from?
A: This roll pin is manufactured from hardened steel with a hollow tube construction. Steel composition provides strength and corrosion resistance in typical warehouse environments. Plating or coating options may be available for specific applications.
Q: Can I reuse a roll pin after removal?
A: Roll pins are designed for single use. Removing a roll pin permanently deforms it, and reinstalling a used pin will not provide secure retention. Always use a new pin when reassembling components.
Q: What happens if the wrong roll pin diameter is installed?
A: An undersized pin will not grip the hole properly and the assembly will separate during operation, causing loss of component function and potential safety hazards. An oversized pin may split the hole or crack the component. Always use the exact diameter specified.
