Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 580055631 Yale HCE 1052 washer and what is its application?
A: The 580055631 is an industrial-grade fastener washer designated as Yale HCE 1052. It features an 8mm inner diameter and 16mm outer diameter for load distribution and vibration resistance in material handling equipment bolt assemblies. This washer is used in electric lift truck structural and mechanical fastening applications.
Q: What are the dimensions and specifications of the 580055631 washer?
A: The 580055631 has an inner diameter of 8mm and an outer diameter of 16mm. This dimension ratio provides adequate bearing surface for load distribution under bolt tension. The washer is industrial-grade with surface protection for corrosion resistance in lift truck environments.
Q: What material and surface protection does the 580055631 have?
A: The 580055631 is constructed from industrial-grade steel with surface protection coating for corrosion resistance. The coating protects the washer from warehouse humidity, coolant splash, and battery acid exposure common in material handling equipment. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that may damage the surface coating.
Q: How does the 580055631 washer improve bolt assembly performance?
A: The 580055631 increases bearing surface area to distribute clamping forces across a larger area, preventing bolt head embedment in softer materials and reducing fastener loosening. The washer also provides vibration resistance by increasing friction under the bolt head during thermal cycling and equipment operation.
Q: Which electric lift truck models use the 580055631 washer?
A: The 580055631 is used in Yale electric lift truck models as indicated by the HCE 1052 designation. This washer appears in electrical connections, hydraulic component fastening, and structural bolt assemblies. Verify your specific lift truck model and service manual to confirm washer location and quantity required.
Q: What is the expected service life of the 580055631 washer?
A: The 580055631 washer has an indefinite service life under normal conditions. Replace if the coating is severely damaged exposing bare steel, if the washer diameter is reduced by corrosion, or if the surface is cracked. Inspect washers during routine maintenance if loosening of bolts occurs or if exposed to chemical spills.
