Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What material is the A10680-70 bearing cone manufactured from?
A: The A10680-70 is manufactured from SAE 52100 bearing-grade steel and hardened to Rockwell C58, which exceeds industry minimum standards for tapered roller bearing cones. This hardness and material composition provide durability and load capacity for manual pallet jack wheel assemblies.
Q: What cross-reference part numbers match the A10680-70 bearing cone?
A: The A10680-70 cross-references with Barrett forklift equivalent BRA10680-70 and Baker aftermarket equivalent BA10680-016. These part numbers represent the same bearing cone specifications and are interchangeable with A10680-70 in compatible equipment.
Q: Where is the A10680-70 bearing cone used in pallet jack assemblies?
A: The A10680-70 is designed for use in load wheel axle positions and steering wheel hub positions on manual pallet jacks. It functions as the rotating component of a tapered roller bearing set. Verify your equipment documentation to confirm this is the correct cone size for your specific pallet jack model.
Q: Is the A10680-70 bearing cone a direct replacement, or does it require a matching cup?
A: The A10680-70 is a tapered roller bearing cone and requires a matching cup (race) to function as a complete bearing assembly. When replacing the cone, verify the matching cup part number and confirm both components are the correct size for your pallet jack axle diameter.
Q: How long does the A10680-70 bearing cone last in typical warehouse conditions?
A: The A10680-70 bearing cone typically lasts 5 to 8 years in normal warehouse use. Lifespan depends on load weight, lubrication frequency, and exposure to moisture or contamination. Signs of bearing failure include grinding noise, wheel resistance, or bearing play in the axle.
Q: What maintenance does the A10680-70 bearing cone require?
A: Keep the bearing cone and cup clean and properly lubricated with lithium grease. Relubricate every 6 to 12 months or more frequently in high-use environments. Inspect the cone surface for corrosion or pitting, which indicate the bearing assembly needs replacement.
