Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions and specifications of bearing assembly 650527?
A: SKU 650527 is a bearing assembly designed for forklift load wheels, steering wheels, and carriage assemblies. This bearing uses chrome steel construction with sealed or shielded rolling elements rated for the higher dynamic loads typical of powered lift truck applications. Bore diameters typically range from 1.25 to 2 inches with load capacities between 1000-2500 pounds. Consult your forklift manufacturer documentation for exact bore, outer diameter, and width specifications before ordering.
Q: Which forklift brands and models use bearing assembly 650527?
A: Bearing assembly 650527 is compatible with forklifts from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, and Caterpillar. This bearing fits load wheels, steer wheels, and carriage rollers on sit-down electric and internal combustion forklifts. Verify bearing dimensions match your forklift model year and specification sheet, as larger capacity forklifts require different bore diameters than smaller units.
Q: How long does bearing assembly 650527 last in forklift service?
A: With routine maintenance in normal warehouse conditions, bearing assembly 650527 typically lasts 4-6 years on forklift applications. Heavy-use facilities or outdoor operation can reduce bearing life to 2-3 years due to increased contamination and load stress. Regular cleaning and relubrication extend bearing durability. Environmental factors like salt spray, extreme cold, or very wet conditions significantly shorten service life.
Q: What maintenance does bearing assembly 650527 require?
A: Bearing assembly 650527 should be cleaned with compressed air every 250-500 operating hours to remove contamination around seals or shields. Apply bearing-grade lithium grease or light machine oil according to your forklift service manual, typically every 250-500 hours. If sealed, do not force open the seal to add lubricant; sealed bearings are pre-lubricated and should be replaced when they fail. Store spare bearings in a dry, climate-controlled location to prevent rust.
Q: Are there replacement or cross-reference part numbers for bearing assembly 650527?
A: Bearing 650527 may have OEM equivalents from your forklift manufacturer or aftermarket alternatives if bore, outer diameter, and width specifications match exactly. Compare against original equipment part documentation. House brand GW parts or other aftermarket bearings may provide compatible alternatives, but verify all dimensions and load ratings before substituting.
