Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What pallet jack models does the VJ 431 roll pin fit?
A: The VJ 431 roll pin fits Valu-Jack model KD-5500 manual pallet jacks. Alternate model designations include KD5500 and KD 5500. Verify your equipment model number matches before ordering.
Q: What are the dimensional specifications of the VJ 431?
A: The VJ 431 is a roll pin with 0.250 inch diameter and 1.50 inch length. It is manufactured from carbon steel meeting ANSI B18.8.2 standards for roll pins, ensuring consistent strength and performance in high-shear applications.
Q: Why is carbon steel specified for the VJ 431 roll pin?
A: Carbon steel SAE 1010/1020 is specified for roll pins because it provides adequate shear strength for mechanical retention under load cycling, resists deformation, and meets cost-effectiveness standards for manual equipment. The Rockwell C40 minimum hardness ensures reliable holding power.
Q: What standards and specifications does the VJ 431 meet?
A: The VJ 431 is manufactured to ANSI B18.8.2 roll pin standards, carbon steel SAE 1010/1020, uncoated plain finish, with Rockwell C40 minimum hardness. These standards ensure compatibility with the KD-5500 design and reliable mechanical retention in assembly.
Q: How do I know if the VJ 431 roll pin requires replacement?
A: Replace the VJ 431 if the pin is bent, cracked, sheared, or corroded, if components move relative to each other when pinned, or if the pin no longer holds components securely. Worn or damaged pins compromise structural integrity and load security.
Q: Is the VJ 431 cross-compatible with other roll pins or models?
A: No. The VJ 431 is engineered specifically for the KD-5500 with exact diameter and length matching the design. Different models use different pin sizes. Using incorrect roll pins will not secure components properly and creates safety risks.
