Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a slotted spring pin and what does the CL 656496 do?
A: The CL 656496 is a slotted spring pin (roll pin) manufactured to ISO 8752 and DIN 1481 standards. It provides load retention, load alignment, and self-locking fastening in power transmission and mechanical linkage applications on Clark electric lift trucks.
Q: What material is the CL 656496 made from?
A: The CL 656496 is manufactured from SAE 1070 to 1090 spring steel or AISI 420/302 stainless steel, depending on the application and environment. Spring steel provides high yield strength and elasticity; stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance in wet or freeze-thaw conditions.
Q: What finish options are available for the CL 656496?
A: The CL 656496 is supplied in plain or galvanized finish. Plain finish is standard for dry indoor applications; galvanized finish is recommended for outdoor use or exposure to moisture and salt spray to prevent rust and extend service life.
Q: Where is the CL 656496 typically used on Clark lift trucks?
A: This roll pin is used in mechanical linkages, load-bearing assemblies, and power transmission components. Common locations include steering linkage, load wheel assemblies, and brake actuator mechanisms where positive retention and self-locking action are required.
Q: How do I know if the CL 656496 needs replacement?
A: Replace the pin if it shows signs of shear, corrosion, or loss of tension. If the pin falls out, does not grip tightly, or the adjacent components shift or rattle, the pin may be compromised. Check material condition and slot closure before reuse.
