Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 9712501600 the same as the 97125-01600 bearing assembly?
A: Yes, the 9712501600 is the same bearing assembly as 97125-01600. Both SKU numbers reference the identical component. When ordering, use either SKU number interchangeably as they are equivalent part references.
Q: What does the 9712501600 bearing assembly support in lift truck equipment?
A: The 9712501600 bearing assembly provides support and rotation for drivetrain shafts and load wheel assemblies in forklifts and material handling equipment. It reduces friction between moving parts and carries radial and axial loads generated during lifting, lowering, and horizontal movement operations.
Q: What causes premature failure of the 9712501600 bearing assembly?
A: Premature bearing failure occurs from inadequate lubrication, contamination from dirt or water ingress, overloading beyond rated capacity, misalignment, impact damage, or prolonged operation with worn seals. Regular lubrication maintenance and prompt seal replacement prevent most bearing failures in warehouse duty.
Q: How often should the 9712501600 bearing be lubricated?
A: Lubrication frequency depends on the equipment manufacturer specifications and operating environment. Typical commercial forklifts require bearing lubrication every 250 to 500 operating hours or per the maintenance manual schedule. Increase frequency in wet, dusty, or cold storage environments where contamination and moisture risk is higher.
