Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the A000003160 roll pin used for?
A: The A000003160 is a precision roll pin designed for shaft-to-hub retention on electric pallet jacks and lift trucks. It prevents lateral movement and ensures secure connection between drive shafts and wheel hubs or coupling components.
Q: What equipment types is this roll pin compatible with?
A: This roll pin fits electric pallet jacks, walkie stackers, and electric forklifts from manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster. Verify your equipment assembly diagram and roll pin diameter before ordering.
Q: What material is the A000003160 made from?
A: This roll pin is manufactured from spring steel with a hardened finish, allowing it to compress when inserted into a hole and then expand to create a tight, permanent press fit between two components.
Q: How do I know if a roll pin needs replacement?
A: Signs of roll pin failure include excessive shaft movement, clicking or clunking noises during operation, or visible gaps between components. If a wheel hub rotates independently of the drive shaft or slips under load, the roll pin likely requires replacement.
Q: What happens if the wrong size roll pin is installed?
A: An oversized pin will not fit into the bore and force-fitting may strip the hole. An undersized pin will not expand enough to hold components securely, resulting in slippage and rapid wear. Always match the exact OEM diameter and length specifications.
