UniCarriers Pivot Shaft Assembly NI48550-FS000 – E-8737

The lower lift linkage on UniCarriers Barrett electric lift trucks turns on this pivot shaft, which gives the linkage a true, accurate axis as the forks raise and lower. UniCarriers machines the assembly from steel and sizes it to seat within the lower lift mechanism, where it carries the pivoting motion of the connected links under the load the linkage handles.

It is cataloged for UniCarriers Barrett electric trucks, including the Barrett 1W2B and 2W2B models. A pivot shaft wears at its bearing surfaces over many lift cycles, and as the fit loosens the linkage develops play, the forks lose alignment, and the motion grows sloppy, which is the signal the shaft has reached the end of its service life.

Match the shaft diameter and length to the assembly coming off the truck, since a pivot shaft has to fit its bore closely to locate the linkage without slop.
