Split Bushing Lined

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the 2I6296 split bushing do?
A: The 2I6296 split bushing, lined, is a wear component that reduces friction between the axle and wheel bore. The lined interior protects the axle from metal-to-metal contact, extending both axle and wheel life on pallet jacks and lift trucks.

Q: What equipment is the 2I6296 split bushing compatible with?
A: The 2I6296 split bushing fits manual and electric pallet jacks, straddle carriers, and load wheels from manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster. Confirm bore diameter and width specifications match your equipment.

Q: What is the lining material on the 2I6296 bushing?
A: The 2I6296 features a durable polymer or composite liner designed to reduce wear on steel axles. The lined interior maintains proper clearances and provides smooth rotation under load while preventing axle damage.

Q: How long does the 2I6296 split bushing last?
A: Bushing lifespan depends on load, floor conditions, and equipment usage frequency. Replace the 2I6296 when you observe wheel play, binding, or a squeaking sound during rotation. Regular inspection prevents axle damage from worn bushings.

Q: Why choose a split bushing instead of a solid bushing?
A: Split bushings like the 2I6296 install without removing the wheel or axle assembly, saving labor time and reducing downtime. The split design allows removal and replacement while wheels remain on the equipment.

Q: What is the inside diameter of the 2I6296 split bushing?
A: Contact us with your pallet jack model or axle diameter to confirm the 2I6296 bore size. Incorrect bushing sizing causes improper fit and wheel play. Provide equipment manufacturer and model for accurate specification verification.
