Axle For Ball Bearing
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the 401050 axle for ball bearing do?
A: The 401050 is an axle shaft designed to support ball bearing wheels on manual pallet jacks. It serves as the rotating shaft that loads and steers wheels, supporting the entire load capacity of the equipment while reducing friction through ball bearing engagement.
Q: Which manual pallet jack models use the 401050 axle?
A: The 401050 is compatible with manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other standard OEM manufacturers. Verify your equipment model, serial number, and load rating before ordering, as axle specifications vary by capacity and wheel configuration.
Q: What are the key specifications for the 401050 axle?
A: The 401050 features precision-machined steel construction with ball bearing mounting surfaces. Standard dimensions include a specific shaft diameter, shoulder diameters for bearing seating, and threaded or keyed ends. Contact us with your equipment model for exact length, bore size, and load rating.
Q: How long does the 401050 axle typically last?
A: Under normal use with proper maintenance, the 401050 axle can last the life of the pallet jack. Heavy-duty use, overloading, or inadequate bearing lubrication reduces lifespan. Most axles require replacement only after years of continuous operation or if damaged in a collision.
Q: What maintenance does the 401050 axle require?
A: Keep the axle and ball bearings properly lubricated according to your equipment manual. Inspect for corrosion, bending, or spalling on bearing surfaces. Wipe away dirt and debris to prevent contamination of bearing races. Replace if the axle bends or if ball bearings show pitting or excessive wear.
