Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the cross-reference part number for YL 500046908?
A: YL 500046908 also carries cross-reference part number YT500046908. Both part numbers refer to the same Yale OEM bronze bushing. When ordering, either SKU is acceptable from our inventory.
Q: Which Yale pallet jack models use YL 500046908?
A: YL 500046908 is designed specifically for Yale MPB040AC electric pallet trucks. This part is integrated into drive and brake assembly subcomponents. Verify your equipment model nameplate to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Q: What material composition makes YL 500046908 suitable for high-duty applications?
A: YL 500046908 is manufactured from industrial-grade bronze alloy. Bronze offers self-lubricating properties, excellent machinability, superior wear resistance against hardened steel shafts, and natural corrosion resistance. This composition extends service life and reduces maintenance compared to composite or plastic bushings.
Q: How does YL 500046908 reduce wear in drive and brake assemblies?
A: YL 500046908 provides a wear-resistant bearing surface that prevents direct metal-to-metal contact between rotating shafts and housings. The bronze alloy absorbs mechanical shock loads, maintains proper shaft alignment and clearance, and reduces friction-generated heat that can degrade surrounding components.
Q: Can YL 500046908 be used in Yale MP040AC models or only MPB040AC?
A: YL 500046908 is specified for Yale MPB040AC electric pallet trucks. MP040AC models may use different bushing designs or part numbers. Always cross-reference your equipment specifications before substituting parts across model variants to avoid compatibility issues.
