Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which electric lift truck models use the SY43181 shaft?
A: The SY43181 shaft is compatible with electric pallet jacks and lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and similar manufacturers. This shaft typically connects motor assemblies, gearbox drives, or steering components. Verify shaft diameter, length, and spline configuration match your equipment.
Q: What are the dimensions and specifications of the SY43181?
A: The SY43181 specifications include overall length, shaft diameter, spline tooth count (if applicable), keyway dimensions, and bore size. These measurements are essential for proper fitment and power transmission. Consult your equipment manual for exact specifications.
Q: What material is the SY43181 shaft made from?
A: The SY43181 is typically forged or machined alloy steel designed to transmit torque without failure under sustained motor loads. Steel composition provides high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to torsional stress common in electric drive systems.
Q: What symptoms indicate shaft wear or damage requiring replacement?
A: Warning signs include vibration during operation, grinding or squealing noises from motor or gearbox areas, visible bending or cracks, or loss of drive power to wheels or lift functions. A failed shaft will stop power transmission immediately.
Q: What is the typical service life of the SY43181 shaft?
A: Under normal warehouse use, the SY43181 shaft typically lasts 5 to 10 years. Excessive torque, shock loads, or bearing failure accelerate wear. Proper motor mounting alignment helps extend shaft life.
Q: Are cross-reference part numbers available for the SY43181?
A: The SY43181 is a direct replacement for OEM shafts in multiple electric lift truck applications. Reference your original equipment manual for the OEM part number and verify spline configuration before ordering.
