Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications for the CL 912961 spring set?
A: The CL 912961 is a spring set containing 4 springs manufactured from SAE 1070 high-carbon alloy steel to ASTM A229 standards. The springs have a nominal outside diameter of 0.50 inches and are designed for Clark electric lift truck models. The springs are tested to 100,000 compression cycles at rated load.
Q: Which Clark models are compatible with the CL 912961?
A: The CL 912961 spring set is compatible with select Clark electric lift truck models. Verify your equipment model and verify dimensional match before ordering to ensure correct fit.
Q: Why is the CL 912961 made from SAE 1070 high-carbon steel?
A: SAE 1070 high-carbon alloy steel is chosen for spring applications because it provides superior elasticity, resilience, and fatigue resistance compared to lower-carbon grades. This material maintains consistent spring tension through hundreds of thousands of compression cycles without permanent deformation.
Q: What does the ASTM A229 standard mean for the CL 912961?
A: ASTM A229 is the American Society for Testing and Materials standard for oil-tempered carbon steel springs. Compliance with ASTM A229 ensures the CL 912961 meets specific requirements for material composition, heat treatment, strength, and dimensional accuracy.
Q: How long do the springs in the CL 912961 last?
A: The CL 912961 springs are tested to 100,000 compression cycles at rated load. Actual service life depends on equipment usage patterns, proper maintenance, and operating within design load limits. Degraded springs show reduced tension or visible damage and should be replaced as a complete set.
Q: Is there a cross-reference part number for the CL 912961?
A: The CL 912961 cross-references to part number 912961. Use the full CL 912961 SKU to ensure you receive the OEM Clark component with correct material specifications and tested cycle life.
