BJ 060976

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the full specifications for the BJ 060976 roll pin?
A: The BJ 060976 is a slotted spring pin with 3/16 inch diameter and 1-1/2 inch length. Material is high carbon, spring-tempered steel with an oil-coated finish. Chamfered ends are included for precision fit and ease of alignment. This pin is engineered specifically for shear-load applications in Big Joe electric lift truck assemblies.

Q: What does oil-coated finish mean and why does the BJ 060976 have it?
A: Oil-coated finish is a light protective coating that prevents corrosion and reduces friction during installation and removal. On the BJ 060976, this finish helps preserve spring steel properties and makes the pin easier to insert into close-tolerance holes in lift truck frame and wheel assemblies.

Q: What is the difference between the BJ 060974 and BJ 060976 roll pins?
A: The BJ 060974 is a 7/16 inch open toe roll pin made from precision spring steel, suitable for general frame retention. The BJ 060976 is a 3/16 inch slotted spring pin made from high carbon spring-tempered steel with oil coating and chamfered ends, engineered for heavier shear-load applications. They are not interchangeable and must be used for their specific assemblies.

Q: Why is high carbon spring steel used in the BJ 060976?
A: High carbon spring steel in the BJ 060976 provides superior strength and resilience under shear-load conditions. Spring tempering process increases the materials ability to resist permanent deformation while maintaining the elastic recall needed for secure assembly fit in critical lift truck connections.
