HOIST PARTS NUT SLOTTED

Product Description

The Kito Slotted Nut is a genuine OEM replacement component designed for use in Kito CF Series manual chain hoists, identified by part number CF049-020. The slotted nut is an internal mechanical fastening component used within the CF Series hoist assembly to secure and retain rotating or load-bearing components within the hoist body, with the slotted profile providing a positive locking feature that prevents the nut from backing off under vibration, dynamic loading, and the repeated mechanical cycling of hoist operation. Maintaining correctly installed and undamaged slotted nuts within the hoist assembly is essential for the structural integrity of the hoist mechanism and the safe retention of internal components throughout the full rated capacity and service life of the hoist.

The slotted profile of the nut is designed to accept a cotter pin, locking wire, or tab washer that engages the slots to prevent rotation and nut loosening during hoist operation. This positive locking arrangement is a standard feature of safety-critical fastener applications in lifting equipment, where vibration and dynamic loading during repeated lift cycles would cause a standard unslotted nut to loosen over time, compromising the retention of the components it secures. The slotted nut must be inspected during hoist maintenance for damage to the slot features, thread wear or damage, and any condition that prevents the nut from being correctly torqued and locked in position within the hoist assembly.

The slotted nut is subject to wear and mechanical stress over its service life through the torque loads applied during assembly and disassembly, vibration and dynamic loading during hoist operation, and the cumulative effects of repeated maintenance cycles. Conditions requiring slotted nut replacement include damaged or deformed slot features that prevent correct locking pin or wire engagement, thread damage that prevents correct torque application, and any condition that compromises the nut's ability to be correctly secured within the hoist assembly.

Note: Slotted nut replacement and hoist reassembly must be performed by a qualified hoist technician following Kito CF Series service procedures. The slotted nut must always be installed with the correct locking feature engaged — never leave a slotted nut in service without the locking pin or wire correctly installed. The hoist must be fully inspected, function tested, and load tested before returning to service following any internal fastener replacement.
