Bearing Assembly Single Shield

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between SKU 28887 and standard bearing assemblies?
A: SKU 28887 features a single shield design, which reduces seal friction and allows smoother bearing rotation compared to double-shielded designs. This configuration is preferred when minimal resistance is required, though it offers less protection against contamination ingress.

Q: Which equipment brands use SKU 28887?
A: This single-shield bearing assembly is compatible with manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and Jungheinrich. Cross-reference your equipment model and serial range to verify fitment before ordering.

Q: When should I choose SKU 28887 over a double-shielded bearing assembly?
A: Choose the single-shield design when your pallet jack operates in relatively clean, dry warehouse environments where reduced bearing resistance is a priority. In dirty, wet, or cold storage applications, a double-shielded assembly provides better contamination protection.

Q: How does the single shield affect bearing maintenance for SKU 28887?
A: The single shield allows easier visual inspection and cleaning compared to fully enclosed designs. However, more frequent cleaning is recommended since one side has reduced contamination protection. Inspect regularly for debris or moisture accumulation.

Q: What is the expected service life of SKU 28887?
A: Under normal warehouse conditions with regular maintenance and cleaning, the single-shield bearing assembly typically remains serviceable for 2-3 years. Environments with high humidity or dust exposure may require earlier replacement.
