Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment types does the 504-K-32 bearing assembly fit?
A: The 504-K-32 is designed for forklift applications across multiple OEM brands including Crown, Toyota, Hyster, and CAT. Verify your forklift model and serial range match this assembly before ordering, as bearing assemblies have specific mounting dimensions and load ratings.
Q: What are the key specifications of the 504-K-32 bearing assembly?
A: The 504-K-32 is a complete bearing assembly with sealed roller or ball bearings depending on application. The assembly includes the bearing races, rolling elements, seals, and mounting hardware. Check the bearing bore diameter and width against your equipment documentation to confirm fitment.
Q: What material are the bearings in the 504-K-32 made from?
A: The 504-K-32 uses hardened chrome steel bearing races and balls or rollers rated for heavy-duty industrial loads. The seals are typically nitrile or polyurethane to resist grease, moisture, and contamination common in warehouse and loading environments.
Q: How long does the 504-K-32 bearing assembly last in normal operation?
A: Expected bearing life depends on load, speed, and maintenance. Under normal forklift operation with proper lubrication, the 504-K-32 typically lasts 3 to 5 years before seal degradation and wear require replacement. Monitor for grinding noise or play as warning signs.
Q: What maintenance does the 504-K-32 bearing assembly require?
A: The 504-K-32 comes sealed and does not require routine greasing. Check seals visually for cracking or leakage during equipment inspections. If seals fail, grease leaks out and bearing degradation accelerates, making replacement necessary.
Q: Are there cross-reference part numbers for the 504-K-32?
A: The 504-K-32 is used as a replacement or upgrade component across multiple forklift brands. Verify the original equipment part number and bearing specifications in your service manual before ordering, as similar-looking assemblies may have different bore sizes or load ratings.
