BEARING assembly (SINGLE SHIELD)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does single shield mean on bearing 71403060?
A: Single shield means one side of the bearing has a metal or synthetic shield that protects the raceway from contamination and excess grease loss. The 71403060 is designed for manual pallet jack wheel assemblies where one side contacts the wheel hub. Single shield bearings typically cost less than dual shield variants and work well in drier warehouse environments.
Q: Which pallet jack brands use the 71403060 bearing assembly?
A: The 71403060 is compatible with manual pallet jack wheel assemblies from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and other major OEM brands. Verify the bearing bore diameter and outer diameter match your equipment before ordering. Consult your equipment manual or measure the existing bearing to confirm fitment.
Q: What is the typical service life of bearing 71403060?
A: Service life depends on load, operating environment, and maintenance. In normal warehouse conditions with regular greasing, the 71403060 typically lasts 2 to 4 years before replacement. High-traffic areas, wet floors, or infrequent maintenance may reduce bearing life. Replace immediately if you notice noise, grinding, or wheel wobble.
Q: When should I replace a bearing instead of regreasing it?
A: Replace the bearing if regreasing does not eliminate noise and roughness, if the bearing spins roughly under light pressure, or if you see visible cracking or rust on the outer race. Bearings that have been run dry or overheated cannot be saved by regreasing and will fail suddenly under load.
