Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CT 215994 roller shaft?
A: The CT 215994 is a roller shaft component for Caterpillar electric lift trucks. This shaft supports and drives the load wheels or rollers in the lift mechanism. It is constructed from SAE 1045 steel and rated for continuous duty with a service factor of 1.15.
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the CT 215994?
A: The CT 215994 replaces CT 200986, supersedes CT 145670, and is equivalent to CT 210123. If you have equipment using the older part numbers, the CT 215994 is the current OEM replacement.
Q: What is the material specification for the CT 215994?
A: The CT 215994 is manufactured from SAE 1045 steel, a medium-carbon alloy steel. This material provides excellent strength and wear resistance for high-cycle load wheel applications.
Q: What does the service factor of 1.15 mean for the CT 215994?
A: A service factor of 1.15 indicates the CT 215994 is rated for continuous duty with a 15 percent margin above nominal load. This shaft can sustain full operational loading in electric lift trucks under normal warehouse conditions without premature fatigue failure.
Q: How do I determine if the CT 215994 roller shaft requires replacement?
A: Symptoms include excessive vibration, grinding or squealing from the roller assembly, loss of wheel drive, or visible bending or surface cracks. Inspect the shaft visually and verify runout with dial indicators. If damage is detected, replace the CT 215994 immediately.
Q: Will the CT 215994 fit equipment using the older CT 200986 or CT 145670 parts?
A: Yes. The CT 215994 is the current OEM successor to both CT 200986 and CT 145670. Verify dimensions and spline configuration match your existing shaft cavity. The CT 215994 is a direct replacement for compatible lift truck models from CAT.
