CE-2516

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the specifications of the CE-2516 washer?
A: The CE-2516 is a carbon steel flat washer manufactured to ASME B18.22.1 standard. Outer diameter is 1.25 inches, inner diameter is 0.530 inches, and thickness is 0.060 inches. Material is SAE 1010 carbon steel with Rockwell B70-85 hardness and plain oiled finish for corrosion resistance.

Q: What fastener grades does the CE-2516 washer work with?
A: The CE-2516 is compatible with Grade 5 and Grade 8 fasteners. SAE 1010 carbon steel with Rockwell B70-85 hardness provides adequate bearing surface for these fastener grades under normal assembly loads in electric lift truck applications. Verify bolt diameter compatibility before use.

Q: What are typical applications for the CE-2516 in electric lift truck assemblies?
A: The CE-2516 is designed for electric lift truck parts assemblies where fastener bearing surface and load distribution are critical. Typical uses include motor mounts, battery tray fasteners, hydraulic assembly connections, and structural frame bolting. The 1.25 inch outer diameter distributes loads effectively across components.

Q: Why is the CE-2516 plain oiled rather than zinc-plated?
A: Plain oiled finish provides a cost-effective protective layer for carbon steel in indoor warehouse environments. Zinc plating is not specified for this washer, likely because applications involve protected mounting locations. Verify the oiled finish is adequate for your specific installation conditions before ordering.

Q: Can the CE-2516 be used in both horizontal and vertical fastening applications?
A: Yes. The CE-2516 flat washer design functions in horizontal, vertical, and angled mounting orientations. The 1.25 inch outer diameter provides adequate bearing surface to prevent fastener pullthrough across all common orientations in lift truck assembly.
