1470170680 Cylinder Shim (T=1.00) for Mitsubishi FB10CA

Overview

The 1470170680 CYLINDER SHIM (T=1.00) is a precision-ground shim used to set correct internal clearances when servicing or rebuilding cylinders on Mitsubishi electric forklifts. Machined to a uniform 1.00 mm thickness, it restores proper alignment and seating of cylinder components, helping reduce uneven wear and supporting consistent hydraulic performance. When a cylinder shows drift, uneven lift or excessive play, choosing the right shim thickness is often the difference between a lasting repair and an early failure.

Compatibility

This cylinder shim fits Mitsubishi electric counterbalance forklifts in the FB10-FB18 CA series and the updated CA1 series, covering the FB10, FB14, FB15 and FB18 capacity classes in both generations (FB10CA through FB18CA1). Whether you are searching for “1470170680 for FB10CA” or the same shim for an FB15CA1, one part number covers the whole range. As always, confirm fitment against your truck’s serial number or the Mitsubishi parts manual before ordering.

Quality and Reliability

Shims look simple, but tolerance matters. A shim with inconsistent thickness or poor flatness introduces misalignment into the cylinder assembly, accelerating seal wear and risking leaks. This Mitsubishi-spec 1.00 mm cylinder shim is made to a consistent thickness, so technicians can select, stack or substitute shims with confidence during a rebuild. Ordering by the exact reference number 1470170680 also keeps your maintenance records accurate and makes future reordering straightforward.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

• Measure the existing shim stack and the actual cylinder clearance before selecting thickness; never guess.
• Clean mating surfaces thoroughly and remove any burrs or scoring before fitting the shim.
• Handle the shim by its edges to protect flatness and surface finish.
• Fit new shims during a full cylinder rebuild rather than reusing deformed ones.
• Torque fasteners to Mitsubishi specification in the sequence given in the service manual.
• Record the final shim combination in your service log to simplify future work.
