Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment does bearing assembly 271036 fit?
A: Bearing assembly 271036 is used in load wheel mounts, steering columns, and pivot points on forklifts and pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other major material handling manufacturers. Verify the bearing assembly dimensions and shaft diameter match your equipment specifications.
Q: What is the difference between bearing 271036 and bushing 27003270?
A: A bearing assembly like 271036 contains rolling elements (balls or rollers) in a cage, designed for rotating shaft applications and higher speed operation. A bushing is a simpler bearing without rolling elements, used for pivot or sliding applications. Select the correct component type based on your equipment design.
Q: How do I identify when bearing assembly 271036 needs replacement?
A: Signs of bearing assembly wear include grinding, squeaking, or rattling noises during operation, excessive play in steering or load wheel movement, and rough rotation. If you observe these symptoms, inspect the bearing for contamination or seal failure, then order a replacement.
Q: Are there cross-reference part numbers for bearing assembly 271036?
A: Cross-references depend on matching bearing bore diameter, outer diameter, width, and seal type. Check your equipment manual or contact the manufacturer of your pallet jack or lift truck to confirm compatible bearing assemblies. Different brands may use different part numbers for the same bearing specification.
Q: How long does a bearing assembly typically last in forklift service?
A: A properly sealed bearing assembly like 271036 typically lasts 3-7 years under normal warehouse operating conditions. Lifespan depends on load, running hours, maintenance, and environment. Bearings in heavy-load or high-cycle equipment may require replacement sooner than lighter-duty applications.
Q: What maintenance does bearing assembly 271036 require?
A: Most modern bearing assemblies like 271036 are sealed and pre-greased, requiring no maintenance during normal service. Periodically inspect for noise, binding, or heat. If seal damage allows contamination, the bearing cannot be repaired and must be replaced.
