Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 30289 bearing cone, and where is it used?
A: The 30289 is a tapered roller bearing cone used in load wheel assemblies and steering mechanisms on manual pallet jacks and low-lift trucks. The cone works with a bearing cup to support heavy radial and thrust loads while allowing smooth rotation.
Q: Is the 30289 bearing cone compatible with equipment from multiple manufacturers?
A: Yes, the 30289 bearing cone is used across pallet jacks and platform trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and other standard manufacturers. Verify that your equipment bearing assembly matches the 30289 specification before ordering.
Q: How does a bearing cone differ from a standard ball bearing?
A: A tapered roller bearing cone like the 30289 uses cone-shaped rollers instead of balls. This design distributes load more efficiently over a larger surface area and handles both radial and thrust loads simultaneously, making it ideal for pallet jack wheels and steering columns that experience multidirectional stress.
Q: What materials is the 30289 bearing cone constructed from?
A: The 30289 bearing cone is manufactured from through-hardened alloy steel or chrome steel, engineered to withstand heavy cyclic loading and wear in warehouse environments. This material choice ensures durability and precision alignment with its matching bearing cup.
