Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the key specifications of the PR 23189-00 axle?
A: The PR 23189-00 is a forged steel drive axle assembly with a 1.50 inch shaft diameter, 26 inch overall length, 5-stud hub piloted bolt pattern, and a dynamic load capacity of 2000 lbs. It features double outboard bearing support and an open differential gearset mounting configuration.
Q: What material is the PR 23189-00 manufactured from?
A: The PR 23189-00 is precision-manufactured from SAE 1045 steel, which provides high tensile strength and torsional rigidity. The axle surface hardness is Rockwell C34 minimum, and it undergoes controlled tempering to withstand repetitive duty in electric lift truck applications.
Q: What is the dynamic load capacity of the PR 23189-00?
A: The PR 23189-00 has a dynamic load capacity of 2000 lbs. This rating assumes proper bearing preload, correct wheel alignment, and operation within the intended duty cycle. Exceeding this capacity or operating with failed bearings will cause rapid wear and potential axle failure.
Q: Does the PR 23189-00 fit my equipment?
A: The PR 23189-00 is designed for Prime Mover electric lift trucks. Confirm fitment by verifying the 5-stud hub pattern, 1.50 inch shaft diameter, and overall length match your equipment. Cross-reference your truck model and serial number with Prime Mover specifications before ordering.
Q: What bearing support does the PR 23189-00 use?
A: The PR 23189-00 features double outboard bearing support, meaning one bearing is mounted on each side of the axle near the wheel hubs. This configuration provides balanced load distribution and reduces shaft deflection under side loads, improving tire wear characteristics and stability.
Q: What differential gearset does the PR 23189-00 use?
A: The PR 23189-00 uses an open differential gearset mounting configuration. This allows the drive wheels to rotate at different speeds during turns, which is typical for non-steering axles on electric material handling equipment.
