Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the YL 449001040 metric capscrew and what are its exact specifications?
A: The YL 449001040 is a hex head metric capscrew with dimensions M16 x 45 mm and 2.0 mm pitch. It is manufactured from alloy steel with a plain (uncoated) finish. These specifications are critical for correct fitment in Yale lift linkage assemblies.
Q: Where is the YL 449001040 capscrew used on Yale lift trucks?
A: The YL 449001040 is used in lift linkage and caster assemblies of Yale electric lift trucks and pallet jacks. Verify the specific assembly location in your truck model parts diagram before ordering.
Q: Why is the alloy steel material specification important for the YL 449001040?
A: Alloy steel provides the load-bearing strength required for lift linkage and caster attachment points. The plain finish allows direct contact with assembly surfaces. Using capscrews with different material grades or finishes can compromise joint integrity and load capacity.
Q: Is the YL 449001040 compatible with metric or inch fastener standards?
A: The YL 449001040 is a metric capscrew (M16 x 45 mm with 2.0 mm pitch). Do not substitute with SAE or inch-standard fasteners, as thread pitch and diameter mismatches will prevent proper assembly.
Q: Can the YL 449001040 be reused if it is removed during maintenance?
A: Inspect the capscrew for thread damage, stripping, or deformation before reinstalling. If the fastener shows visible wear, corrosion, or threading issues, replace it with a new YL 449001040. Reusing damaged fasteners risks joint failure under load.
Q: What torque specification should be used for the YL 449001040?
A: Torque specifications for M16 alloy steel capscrews depend on your specific Yale assembly. Refer to your truck model assembly manual or contact us with your equipment details for the correct torque specification.
