Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is SKU 800013685 and where does it fit?
A: SKU 800013685 is a washer component used in electric lift truck wheel or bearing assemblies. Washers are flat, ring-shaped spacer parts that distribute load and maintain proper clearances in bearing or shaft assemblies. This part is compatible with standard electric pallet jacks and walk-behind electric forklifts from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and similar manufacturers.
Q: What material is this washer made from?
A: The washer is typically manufactured from hardened steel or stainless steel depending on the application environment. Steel washers provide durability and load distribution in bearing assemblies. Material selection ensures compatibility with equipment environment and resistance to corrosion or wear.
Q: What is the function of this washer in the wheel assembly?
A: The washer acts as a spacer to maintain proper clearance between bearing components or to distribute load across a wider surface area on the shaft. Correct washer thickness and placement are critical for proper bearing function and wheel alignment. Missing or worn washers can cause bearing misalignment and premature failure.
Q: How do I know if this washer needs replacement?
A: Symptoms of worn or missing washers include loose wheel assembly, grinding noises, uneven wheel wear, or excessive wheel side-play. If you detect any of these conditions, inspect the washer for damage or wear. Replace if bent, cracked, or excessively worn to restore proper bearing clearance.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of this washer?
A: A properly installed washer typically lasts the operational life of the equipment or until bearing service is needed. Washers do not wear out quickly in normal use but can be damaged by impacts, corrosion, or bearing misalignment. Inspect washers during routine bearing maintenance.
