CONE, BEARING
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a bearing cone and how does it differ from a complete bearing assembly?
A: A bearing cone (3004131) is the inner raceway component of a tapered roller bearing. The cone is one half of the bearing assembly; the outer race is called the cup. Cones are sold separately when only the inner raceway needs replacement or when rebuilding bearing assemblies.
Q: What equipment types use this bearing cone?
A: This bearing cone is used in manual pallet jacks, electric pallet jacks, and material handling equipment from manufacturers like Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Clark. Verify the bore size and width match your specific bearing assembly before ordering.
Q: What materials are used in bearing cone 3004131?
A: Bearing cones are manufactured from through-hardened steel with precision-ground rolling surfaces. This material composition provides durability and load capacity required in pallet jack wheel bearings.
Q: When should I replace a bearing cone versus the entire bearing assembly?
A: Replace only the cone if the outer race (cup) is still serviceable with no pitting or spalling visible. If both the cone and cup show wear, corrosion, or damage, replace the complete bearing assembly. Mixing old and new components may cause premature failure.
Q: Are there cross-reference part numbers for bearing cone 3004131?
A: Contact our parts team with your bearing assembly model or equipment make and model. We maintain cross-reference data for equivalent cones across OEM part numbering systems.
