Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the purpose of the LM4AJF7242 washer in lift truck assembly?
A: The LM4AJF7242 washer is a precision flat washer used in bolt and fastener assemblies throughout electric lift trucks. Washers distribute load, prevent fastener loosening, and protect component surfaces during assembly and operation.
Q: Which lift truck models and components use the LM4AJF7242 washer?
A: The LM4AJF7242 washer is compatible with Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale electric lift trucks. It is used in steering assemblies, mast components, and load-wheel mounting. Verify the bolt diameter, thickness, and material specification match your equipment.
Q: What are the dimensions and material of the LM4AJF7242?
A: The LM4AJF7242 is a hardened steel flat washer with precise dimensions to match standard SAE or ISO bolt sizes. Exact bore diameter, outer diameter, and thickness specifications are critical for proper fit. Consult your parts drawing or contact our technical team for detailed dimensions.
Q: Why is it important to use the correct washer specification?
A: Using the correct washer prevents fastener spin-out, distributes clamping load evenly, and protects component surfaces from damage. An incorrectly sized or material-mismatched washer can lead to loose bolts, component damage, and safety hazards during lift truck operation.
Q: How long does a washer remain serviceable?
A: Washers are long-lived components that require replacement only when fasteners are removed and replaced, or when visible damage, corrosion, or deformation occurs. Hardened steel washers resist deformation under normal operational loads.
