Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the 85 suffix denote on the 97123-06204-85 bearing assembly?
A: The 85 suffix typically indicates a revision level, equipment compatibility code, or dimensional variant of the base 97123-06204 bearing assembly. This suffix may reflect a design change, material upgrade, or application-specific update. Verify your equipment serial range and specification sheet to confirm the 85 variant is correct for your jack.
Q: Is the 97123-06204-85 compatible with the same manual pallet jacks as the standard 97123-06204?
A: The 97123-06204-85 is a variant designed for specific equipment models or serial ranges. Do not assume interchangeability with the standard 97123-06204. Check your pallet jack serial number and parts manual to confirm whether you need the base part or the 85 variant to avoid fitment and performance issues.
Q: What are the dimensions and bore diameter of the 97123-06204-85 bearing assembly?
A: The 97123-06204-85 maintains single shield bearing construction. For exact bore diameter, shaft diameter, and overall width, refer to the detailed specification sheet. Measure your existing bearing or consult the equipment manual to ensure dimensional compatibility before ordering.
Q: Should I replace both the 97123-06204 and 97123-06204-85 if one fails, or can I use interchangeably?
A: Do not use them interchangeably. The 85 variant is designed for a specific equipment revision or model series. If your jack originally came with the 97123-06204-85, use that SKU for replacement. Mixing variants can cause binding, misalignment, or premature failure.
Q: What is the shelf life and recommended storage for the 97123-06204-85?
A: Bearing assemblies should be stored in a dry, temperature-controlled environment with original packaging intact. Grease does not expire, but bearing races can develop corrosion if exposed to moisture. Store at room temperature away from salt spray, chemicals, or extreme humidity.
Q: Does the 97123-06204-85 require any special lubrication or maintenance procedures?
A: The 97123-06204-85 comes pre-packed with grease and requires no additional lubrication at installation. Periodic inspection for grease contamination and noise is recommended as part of routine maintenance. Do not over-lubricate, as excess grease increases drag and heat.
