Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What components are included in the 710688 bearing assembly?
A: The 710688 bearing assembly is a complete pre-assembled bearing unit that includes an inner race, outer race, ball elements, and a retainer cage. It arrives as a finished unit ready for installation on the load wheel spindle or mast support of manual pallet jacks.
Q: Which pallet jack models use the 710688 bearing assembly?
A: This assembly is compatible with manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster. Fitment depends on mast type, load wheel diameter, and spindle diameter. Verify your equipment specifications match the 710688 bore and mounting dimensions before ordering.
Q: What material is the 710688 bearing assembly constructed from?
A: The races are made from high carbon chrome steel (SAE 52100 equivalent) hardened to Rockwell hardness HRC 58-64. Ball elements are precision-grade chrome steel. This construction provides excellent wear resistance and load capacity for standard warehouse applications.
Q: How long should the 710688 bearing assembly last?
A: Expected service life is 2 to 4 years with normal warehouse operation. Overloading, lack of inspection, contamination from moisture or debris, or improper spindle alignment reduce lifespan. Factory lubrication is sealed and does not require service.
Q: What are the failure indicators for the 710688 bearing assembly?
A: Symptoms include grinding or squealing noise, excessive friction, rough rotation, visible corrosion on races, or leakage of sealed lubricant. Replace the assembly when these symptoms appear to prevent wheel failure and equipment downtime.
