ROLL PIN
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the function of the roll pin SKU 800135653 in electric lift trucks?
A: A roll pin is a spring-loaded cylindrical fastener used to retain components in fixed positions or connect shafts and pivot points. In electric lift trucks, roll pins prevent unwanted movement of brake components, linkages, and suspension elements.
Q: Which lift truck components commonly use this roll pin?
A: Roll pins are used in brake levers, steering linkages, load wheel axles, and suspension pivot points. Confirm the specific component and location in your equipment to ensure correct pin diameter and length.
Q: What material is this roll pin made from?
A: The roll pin is manufactured from hardened alloy steel, typically spring steel or tool steel. This material provides high strength, fatigue resistance, and resilience to handle repeated load cycles without permanent deformation.
Q: How do I identify if a roll pin is failing?
A: Failed roll pins typically cause looseness in connected components, rattling noises, or loss of brake responsiveness. Inspect pins for rust, bending, or shearing. A worn or damaged pin should be replaced immediately to prevent component separation.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of a roll pin?
A: Under normal conditions, roll pins last several years. Heavy-vibration environments or improper sizing can reduce lifespan significantly. High-use industrial settings may require annual inspection and replacement of worn or damaged pins.
Q: Are there specific dimension tolerances for this roll pin?
A: Yes, roll pin diameter and length must match the specific bore and application. Providing your equipment model number and component location allows us to verify the exact pin specification needed for proper fit and function.
