BEARING assembly (SINGLE SHIELD)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the single shield design mean on SKU 500216300?
A: The single shield design provides one protective cover on the bearing races, reducing bearing width compared to double-shielded designs. This configuration works in applications where space is limited but some protection from contaminants is still needed.
Q: Which pallet jack brands use the 500216300 bearing assembly?
A: This single-shield bearing assembly fits multiple manual pallet jack models from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster. Always verify your specific equipment model number and serial range to confirm fitment before ordering.
Q: How does the 500216300 single shield bearing perform in wet or dirty environments?
A: The single shield provides moderate contamination protection suitable for general indoor warehouse use. The shield does not seal against moisture; this bearing performs best in climate-controlled, relatively clean environments. For wet storage or outdoor use, verify environment compatibility with specifications.
Q: What is the expected service life of the 500216300 bearing?
A: Under typical warehouse conditions with regular maintenance and lubrication, expect 2 to 4 years of service. Life depends on load, frequency of operation, floor surface quality, and lubrication intervals. Contaminated environments reduce lifespan.
Q: Is 500216300 compatible with double-shield bearing locations?
A: No. The single shield design is narrower than double-shield bearings. You cannot substitute a single-shield bearing where a double-shield is specified. Check your equipment documentation for the correct bearing configuration required.
Q: What lubrication schedule does the 500216300 require?
A: Bearing lubrication intervals depend on equipment usage frequency. Most manual pallet jacks require bearing lubrication every 3 to 6 months during active use. Consult your equipment maintenance manual for specific intervals and grease type.
