Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the EC D913-M8X25 set screw used for on a pallet jack?
A: The EC D913-M8X25 is a hardened steel set screw designed to secure shaft-mounted components on Ecoa manual pallet jacks. It is driven by a hex socket (Allen) wrench and prevents rotating parts such as wheels, sprockets, or coupling hubs from slipping on their shafts under load.
Q: What are the specifications of the EC D913-M8X25?
A: The EC D913-M8X25 is an M8 x 25 mm hardened steel set screw with a hex socket head. M8 refers to an 8 mm diameter, and 25 mm is the screw length. The hardened steel construction provides high shear strength to resist loosening under vibration and repetitive loading.
Q: What causes set screw failure on material handling equipment?
A: Set screw failure occurs primarily due to incorrect torque application: under-torquing allows components to rotate and slip, while over-torquing causes shear failure or stripping of the hex socket. Always apply torque values specified by Ecoa for your pallet jack model. Improper seating on the shaft, corrosion, and repeated load cycles also contribute to failure if fasteners are not maintained.
Q: How often should set screws be inspected and re-torqued?
A: Inspect set screws during regular maintenance intervals, typically every 50-100 hours of operation or monthly if the pallet jack is in frequent use. Check for looseness using the appropriate hex wrench. If a set screw has loosened, remove it, clean the shaft and socket of debris, and re-torque to specification. Replace the screw if the hex socket is stripped or the screw is corroded.
Q: Is the EC D913-M8X25 compatible with other pallet jack brands?
A: The EC D913-M8X25 is an OEM part for Ecoa pallet jacks. While the M8 x 25 mm specification is a common metric fastener, use only genuine Ecoa or equivalent parts verified for your model to ensure correct hardness, material composition, and fitment.
