BEARING assembly (SINGLE SHIELD)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between single shield and double shield bearings?
A: Single shield bearings (like the 801744) have one metal shield on one side only, providing lighter contact and lower friction. Double shield bearings seal both sides and offer more dust protection. Use single shield when low friction is critical; use double shield in high-dust environments.
Q: What equipment is the 801744 single shield bearing compatible with?
A: The 801744 fits manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster models. Confirm the bearing diameter and mounting width match your equipment specifications before purchasing.
Q: What is the load capacity of this single shield bearing?
A: Load capacity varies by bearing bore size and ball count. For the exact dynamic load rating of the 801744, provide your equipment model or the bearing bore diameter, and we can confirm safe operating loads for your application.
Q: When should the 801744 bearing be replaced?
A: Replace the bearing when you notice grinding noises, resistance during operation, or visible rust and corrosion. In normal warehouse service, single shield bearings typically need replacement every 2 to 4 years. Increase frequency in wet or high-use operations.
Q: Does the 801744 work in wet floor environments?
A: Single shield bearings offer minimal water protection compared to sealed bearings. The 801744 can tolerate occasional moisture but is not ideal for continuous wet floor or cold storage use. For those environments, sealed or double shield bearings are recommended.
