BEARING assembly (SINGLE SHIELD)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is part 3051167 and which pallet jack models does it fit?
A: Part 3051167 is a single-shield bearing assembly used in manual pallet jack wheel hubs. This bearing is compatible with standard load wheels and steer wheels on manual pallet jacks from major OEM brands including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Jungheinrich. Verify your wheel hub bore diameter and outer dimensions before ordering to ensure fitment.
Q: What is the difference between single-shield and double-shield bearing assemblies?
A: Single-shield bearings (like 3051167) have one protective metal or rubber shield on one side of the bearing, allowing easier access for cleaning and maintenance. Double-shield bearings have protection on both sides, offering better contaminant exclusion for wet or harsh environments. Choose single-shield for dry warehouse conditions where periodic maintenance is feasible, and double-shield for cold storage or wet floor operations.
Q: How long does a bearing assembly like 3051167 typically last in normal warehouse use?
A: Under normal warehouse conditions with regular maintenance, a bearing assembly can last 3 to 5 years or longer depending on load capacity utilization, surface conditions, and lubrication. Heavily used pallet jacks or those operated on rough or wet floors may require replacement every 2 to 3 years. Monitor for unusual noise, rough rotation, or increased wheel resistance as indicators that replacement is needed.
Q: What material is the 3051167 bearing made from?
A: The 3051167 bearing assembly is constructed from hardened bearing steel with precision-manufactured balls designed to handle the load specifications of standard pallet jack wheels. The exact steel grade and ball material specifications should be verified against your OEM documentation for your specific equipment model.
