Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of bearing assembly is the 8012647?
A: The 8012647 is a ball or tapered roller bearing assembly used in electric and manual lift truck axle and wheel configurations. It is a sealed, preassembled unit designed for fork end or axle mounting. This unit eliminates field assembly complexity and ensures proper bearing alignment.
Q: Which lift truck brands use the 8012647 bearing assembly?
A: The 8012647 bearing assembly is compatible with electric and manual pallet jacks and lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, CAT, and BT. Verify bore size and width specifications match your fork or axle configuration before ordering.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the 8012647 bearing assembly?
A: Bearing assembly lifespan typically ranges from 3 to 7 years depending on load, floor cleanliness, and usage frequency. Sealed designs resist water and debris ingress. Replace if you hear grinding noise, detect loose play, or observe leaking grease around the seal.
Q: Does the 8012647 bearing assembly require lubrication?
A: If the 8012647 is sealed, no additional lubrication is required—it is pre-greased at the factory. If it is an open bearing design, verify your truck documentation for grease type and interval. Do not over-grease, as excess grease causes overheating and premature failure.
