Mitsubishi 1470170670 Cylinder Shim (T=0.50) FB10CA-FB18CA

Overview

The 1470170670 CYLINDER SHIM (T=0.50) is a precision spacing shim supplied by Mitsubishi for the cylinder assemblies of its electric counterbalance forklifts. Shims like this set and maintain the correct internal clearances within the cylinder, helping it seal properly and travel smoothly through its full stroke. If a shim is missing, worn or fitted at the wrong thickness, the result can be uneven cylinder movement, mast drift or accelerated wear on surrounding components, so fitting the correct Mitsubishi shim matters.

Compatibility

This shim fits Mitsubishi electric counterbalance forklifts across two closely related model series:

• FB10CA to FB18CA series: covering the FB10CA, FB14CA, FB15CA and FB18CA trucks
• FB10CA1 to FB18CA1 series: the updated CA1 variants, FB10CA1, FB14CA1, FB15CA1 and FB18CA1

A search such as 1470170670 for FB10CA, FB15CA or FB18CA1 leads straight to this listing. Because one Mitsubishi part number serves both the CA and CA1 families in the FB10 to FB18 range, it is a convenient item to keep on hand for mixed fleets. As always, confirm fitment against your truck serial number and parts manual before ordering.

Quality and Reliability

Supplied as a Mitsubishi-specification spare part, the 1470170670 cylinder shim is made with a consistent 0.50 mm thickness and flat, burr-free faces so it seats correctly between components without introducing misalignment. Correct shimming helps preserve factory-set clearances in the cylinder assembly, supporting smooth lifting performance and reducing the risk of premature wear caused by incorrect spacing. Choosing brand-correct spare parts rather than generic substitutes is one of the simplest ways to keep a Mitsubishi electric forklift working as intended.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

Keep these points in mind when fitting the 1470170670 CYLINDER SHIM (T=0.50):

• Work clean: remove dirt, rust and old residue from the shim mating faces before fitting.
• Verify thickness: confirm the 0.50 mm dimension with a micrometer if shims have been in storage.
• Never force it: if the shim will not seat flat, check for debris, burrs or damage on the surrounding parts.
• Follow the manual: stack shims and torque fasteners only as specified in the Mitsubishi service documentation for your model.
• Inspect at servicing: check cylinder shims whenever the lift cylinder is dismantled and replace any that show scoring, deformation or corrosion.
• If you are not experienced with cylinder repairs, have a qualified forklift technician carry out the work.
