Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the single shield design on SKU 3132316 mean?
A: SKU 3132316 is a bearing assembly with a single shield, meaning one side of the bearing has a protective metal or rubber shield. The single shield design allows for easier access for lubrication and inspection while providing partial dust protection on one side.
Q: What manual pallet jack models use this bearing assembly?
A: SKU 3132316 is compatible with manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, BT, Jungheinrich, Clark, Mitsubishi, and CAT. Verify the bearing bore diameter, outer diameter, and width match your equipment before ordering.
Q: What are the material properties of this bearing assembly?
A: SKU 3132316 features hardened steel ball bearings and races designed for load wheel and steering wheel applications in manual pallet jacks. The single shield is typically mild steel or stainless steel to resist corrosion. Bearings are pre-packed with bearing grease for initial operation.
Q: What maintenance does this bearing assembly require?
A: Bearing assemblies with single shields require periodic inspection for grease condition and bearing noise. If the bearing becomes noisy, stiff, or generates heat, it requires regreasing or replacement. Do not over-grease, as excess grease causes drag and heat buildup.
Q: How long will this bearing assembly last in service?
A: Under typical manual pallet jack service with proper maintenance, SKU 3132316 has an expected service life of 4 to 10 years. Replace the bearing if it develops excessive runout, noise, drag, or if bearing shields are cracked or missing. Lifespan depends on load intensity and environmental conditions.
