CR 060014-042

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the specifications for the CR 060014-042 screw?
A: The CR 060014-042 is an OEM #10-32 UNF machine screw manufactured from hardened alloy steel to SAE Grade 8 specification. It features a black oxide finish and must be torqued to 6.8 Nm (60 in-lbs). This is a precision fastener designed for critical load-bearing applications in electric lift truck assemblies.

Q: What equipment does the CR 060014-042 fit?
A: The CR 060014-042 is designed for use in electric lift truck drive unit assemblies. It secures critical drive unit components. Verify thread size and torque specifications match your equipment before ordering.

Q: Why is this screw SAE Grade 8 hardened alloy steel?
A: SAE Grade 8 hardened alloy steel provides high tensile strength and load-bearing capacity required for drive unit fastening in electric lift trucks. The material resists shearing and deformation under the stresses of powered lifting and lowering operations.

Q: What does black oxide finish do?
A: Black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance and wear protection. It reduces galling during assembly and helps prevent fastener seizure in high-vibration drive unit environments.

Q: Why is the 6.8 Nm torque specification critical?
A: The 6.8 Nm (60 in-lbs) torque specification ensures proper clamping force without over-tightening the screw or stripping threads in the drive unit assembly. Under-torquing risks fastener loosening; over-torquing risks thread damage and fastener failure.

Q: How long does the CR 060014-042 typically last?
A: Lifespan depends on equipment duty cycle and maintenance. SAE Grade 8 hardened steel fasteners in properly torqued drive unit assemblies typically remain service-ready for the life of the lift truck if not exposed to overtightening, corrosive environments, or shock loads.
