The Rotary FC5631 replacement hardware is the direct replacement for the Rotary lift it came off of. Cross-referenced as ALS-7530-31, it is the genuine Rotary part — same part number, same fit, and same working specification as the one already on your lift. Ordering the Rotary replacement hardware from us gets you the OEM piece that matches the lift, not an aftermarket knock-off that is close but not the same.
Specifications
- Part number: ALS-7530-31
- Brand: Rotary
- Type: Genuine OEM replacement hardware
Nobody budgets for a washer. That is exactly how a bay ends up dead for three days — the big components get stocked and scheduled, and then the lift goes down over a pin, a clip, or a spring that nobody thought to have on the shelf. Hardware is the highest-leverage inventory in lift maintenance: the unit cost is trivial, the failure mode is a stopped bay, and the lead time is the same freight wait as any other part. When you order the hardware that failed, order its twin on the other side of the lift too — both sides carry the same hours, so the second failure is already scheduled whether you planned for it or not.

Confirm this is the right part before you order
Lift manufacturers revise parts mid-production without changing the model name, so the same lift bought two years apart can take two different revisions of the same component. Before you order, find the model plate on the lift — on most 2-post lifts it rides on one of the columns at eye level, on 4-post lifts it is usually on a column or the power-unit side runway — and note the full model number and serial. The serial dates the lift to a production run, and that is what decides which revision fits.
If the plate is painted over or missing, take a photo of the part you are replacing next to a tape measure and send it to us. Between the dimensions, the mounting pattern, and what lift it came off of, we can almost always identify the exact part before you spend money on the wrong one.
Check the mirror position of whatever failed. Lifts are symmetric machines: the same pin, spring, or bushing exists on the other column or the other end of the crossbeam, with identical hours on it. If one side measured worn, the other side is close behind, and the labor is already paid while the lift is apart. Also inspect the hardware you had to remove for access — disturbed fasteners deserve a look before reuse.
Waiting on a hardware part is not a reason to run the lift without it. A lift missing a retaining clip or running a known-broken spring is out of service until the part arrives — the couple of days of patience is cheaper than what an unretained pin lets go of.

About this fc5631 link weldment
Every order for the fc5631 link weldment starts with a fitment confirmation. Two lifts of the same model can carry subtle revisions between production years, and a component that fits a rev-A lift may not fit a rev-B lift built two years later. Before your card is charged we verify the piece against the parts breakdown for your specific lift serial number. That five-minute step is the difference between the part arriving and being installed the same afternoon versus the wrong piece showing up and the shop losing a day of billable work.
Technical specification & installation notes
Cycle life on this piece depends heavily on operating conditions. In a typical commercial repair shop running 6-10 lifts per day, the fc5631 link weldment should deliver five to eight years of service before showing measurable wear against the OEM inspection specification. In a high-volume tire or alignment shop running 20+ lifts per day per bay, expect service every three to five years. It is designed to be a serviceable component; when it does wear it wears within safe operating margins that trigger visible symptoms — drift, uneven wear, minor leakage — well before failure becomes a safety issue.
Shipping & ordering
Shipping runs 3-5 business days on standard ground to the lower 48 states. Expedited overnight and two-day options are available; call 800-674-9302 before ordering to quote expedited freight. We stock the fc5631 link weldment in Iowa and ship same-day for orders confirmed before 2 PM Central. Orders that come in later than that or on a Friday afternoon pick up on the next business day. A tracking number gets emailed to the address on the order the moment the package leaves our dock.
Warranty coverage
Every fc5631 link weldment sold through Automotive Lift Services carries a one-year manufacturer-defect warranty. If it fails within that window due to a defect in material or workmanship, we replace it at no charge. Damage from improper installation, use outside the lift's rated capacity, side-loading, or modifications to the parent lift are not covered. The warranty is documented on your original order receipt — retain that record for the coverage period. To submit a warranty claim, contact us with the order number and a photo of the failure at [email protected].
Cross-reference & fitment
Alternate applications for the fc5631 link weldment sometimes exist. Where a common part fits multiple lift models across a manufacturer's catalog, cross-reference sheets show the compatible models explicitly. If you are consolidating parts stock and want to know which of your lifts the piece covers, email the request to [email protected] with a list of the lift models in your bay — we return a compatibility grid showing which lifts accept the replacement and which need a different number.
