Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What forklift models is bearing assembly 851226 designed for?
A: Bearing assembly 851226 is a replacement bearing compatible with electric and internal combustion forklifts from manufacturers including Toyota, Crown, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster. Verify the bearing bore, outer diameter, and seal type match your equipment before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
Q: What are the typical dimensions and material composition of forklift bearing 851226?
A: Standard forklift bearing assemblies feature chrome steel races and balls per SAE 52100 to withstand high axial loads. Typical dimensions range from 17mm to 25mm bore, 40mm to 52mm outer diameter, and 12mm to 15mm width. Review the specification sheet for part 851226 to confirm exact dimensions and load rating for your application.
Q: How does a forklift bearing assembly fail, and what are the warning signs?
A: Bearing failures in forklifts typically present as grinding or squealing noises during operation, rough or stiff wheel rotation, or visible lateral play in the wheel or roller assembly. These symptoms indicate bearing races or balls are damaged. Continued operation with a failed bearing can damage the wheel hub and fork assembly, increasing repair costs. Replace immediately upon detection.
Q: What seal configuration does bearing 851226 have, and is it suitable for outdoor or wet environments?
A: Bearing assembly 851226 typically features double-sealed (2RS) or contact seals for protection in normal warehouse conditions. If your forklift operates outdoors or in wet environments, confirm that the bearing includes seals or coatings rated for moisture and salt exposure to prevent corrosion and premature failure.
Q: Can I substitute a different bearing part number for 851226 on my forklift?
A: No. Bearings must match the original specification exactly. Using an incorrect bearing can cause wheel lockup, premature failure, or unsafe operation. Only use part 851226 as specified for your equipment. If you need a cross-reference or equivalent part, verify bore diameter, outer diameter, width, load rating, and seal type match the original.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of bearing assembly 851226 in typical forklift service?
A: In normal warehouse conditions with regular maintenance, bearing 851226 can provide 3-7 years of service depending on usage intensity, load, and environment. High-duty applications or outdoor operation may require earlier replacement. Monitor for noise and play in the wheel assembly as indicators of bearing wear.
