Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BT 301964-032 roll pin and where is it used?
A: The BT 301964-032 is an OEM roll pin for electric lift truck assemblies. Roll pins are cylindrical fasteners used to secure pivot points, linkages, and rotating components where shear loads require positive retention without threads.
Q: What BT equipment does the BT 301964-032 fit?
A: The BT 301964-032 is designed for BT Prime Mover electric lift truck platforms. Verify the specific model and assembly location where this pin is required. BT roll pins vary by diameter and length depending on the fastening application.
Q: What are the material properties of the BT 301964-032 roll pin?
A: BT roll pins are manufactured from hardened steel with a spring-loaded split design. The split allows the pin to compress during insertion and expand to grip the bore holes, creating a tight mechanical lock that resists vibration and shear forces.
Q: How does the roll pin prevent loosening under vibration?
A: The split design of the BT 301964-032 creates radial pressure against the bore walls. Unlike solid pins, this design compensates for minor wear and vibration, maintaining grip without requiring secondary fasteners. The hardened steel prevents deformation under repeated loading.
Q: When should the BT 301964-032 roll pin be replaced?
A: Replace the pin if it becomes loose, falls out, or shows visible damage or corrosion. If the fastened component moves or rattles relative to its base, the roll pin has lost grip and must be replaced immediately. Worn pins compromise assembly function and safety.
