Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What function does the 181801 bearing assembly serve in fork lift equipment?
A: The 181801 is a bearing assembly that supports rotating shafts in fork lift motors, pumps, or mechanical transmissions. Bearings enable smooth operation and distribute radial and axial loads across the equipment assembly.
Q: Which fork lift manufacturers use the 181801?
A: The 181801 is compatible with fork lift models from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Clark, Mitsubishi, CAT, BT, and similar OEM equipment. Verify your specific fork lift model and serial range before ordering.
Q: What is the expected service life of the 181801 bearing assembly?
A: Bearing service life depends on load rating, operating hours, contamination control, lubrication quality, and work environment. Replace the 181801 when you observe increased noise, vibration, heat generation, shaft movement, or loss of equipment performance.
Q: Does the 181801 require periodic relubrication?
A: Most sealed bearing assemblies like the 181801 are pre-lubricated and sealed for life. Consult your equipment manual to determine if the bearing design includes grease fittings for relubrication or if it is a sealed unit.
Q: What damage or wear patterns indicate the 181801 bearing assembly should be replaced?
A: Replace the 181801 if you detect grinding or squealing sounds, excessive shaft play or runout, increased friction or drag, visible rust or discoloration on the bearing races, seal failure with oil or grease leakage, or temperature rise above normal operating range.
