Revolving truck assemblies generally consist of a truck body
rotating on some form of a bearing configuration and a spindle assembly which is
usually threaded to fit the top of the flagpole shaft. While there is no formal
industry standard for thread size, the most commonly used format is National
Pipe Thread or NPT. The most common size is 1 1/4" NPT while 1" PT and 1 1/2" NPT
can also be found.
Threads that are cut in an NPT format are measured and
expressed differently than National Coarse (NC) or National Fine (NF) threads.
When determining the proper thread for a spindle assembly, the following
approximate dimensions for measuring across the bottom of the spindle should
help determine the NPT size to be ordered. As a reminder, pipe threads are
tapered but this should be close enough for size determination. Unless otherwise
stated, all Revolving Truck Assemblies offered in this catalog have 1 1/4" NPT
spindles. Should you need a different size, contact Customer Service. In many
cases, alternative spindles are available.
