Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is bearing cone 10680-070 and which pallet jacks use it?
A: Bearing cone 10680-070 is a replacement component for manual pallet jack wheel assemblies. It provides axial and radial load support and is compatible with pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and other OEMs that use tapered roller bearing sets in their load wheels.

Q: How do bearing cones support loads in pallet jack wheels?
A: Bearing cones work with matching bearing cups to form tapered roller bearing assemblies. The cone provides the rolling surface for steel rollers and distributes both vertical load (radial) and forward-backward forces (axial) as the wheel rotates. Proper bearing function reduces rolling friction and wheel wear.

Q: What material and construction is used in bearing cone 10680-070?
A: Bearing cones are typically made from hardened alloy steel with precision grinding to support rolling elements. The OEM specification ensures hardness, dimensional accuracy, and load capacity match your pallet jack wheel assembly for reliable operation under full load.

Q: How do I know if the bearing cone 10680-070 needs replacement?
A: Replace the bearing cone if you hear grinding or squealing from the wheel, feel play or wobbling in the wheel hub, notice the wheel drags or is difficult to roll, or if you see discoloration or spalling (pitting) on the bearing surface. A failed bearing cone allows excessive wheel movement and causes rapid wear to the matching cup and rollers.

Q: What cross-reference information is available for bearing cone 10680-070?
A: The OEM part number is 10680-070. Before ordering, confirm this bearing cone matches your pallet jack model and load wheel assembly by checking your equipment documentation or verifying the bearing cone and cup assembly are compatible as a matched pair.
