Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BA 1628 bearing cone and what is its function?
A: The BA 1628 is a bearing cone with integrated seal for drive wheel assemblies on Baker electric lift trucks. It reduces friction and supports rotating wheel loads while preventing contamination ingress.
Q: Which Baker models use the BA 1628 bearing cone?
A: The BA 1628 is designed as an OEM replacement for Baker electric lift truck drive wheel assemblies. Confirm your equipment model and wheel assembly type before ordering to verify compatibility.
Q: What are the dimensions and load specifications of the BA 1628?
A: The BA 1628 bearing cone is engineered to support specific load ratings for drive wheel duty. Verify bore diameter, outer diameter, width, and weight capacity match your wheel assembly specifications.
Q: How do I know if the BA 1628 bearing cone needs replacement?
A: Symptoms of bearing failure include wheel noise, grinding sounds, wobbling wheels, reduced steering response, or increased rolling resistance. Bearing wear reduces efficiency and increases equipment load.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of the BA 1628 bearing cone?
A: Bearing lifespan depends on load, operating hours, and maintenance. Drive wheel bearings typically last 3 to 5 years in heavy-use applications. Regular lubrication and seal inspection extend service life.
Q: Does the BA 1628 include a seal?
A: Yes. The BA 1628 bearing cone includes an integrated seal designed to keep contamination and moisture out of the bearing raceway. This protects bearing surfaces and extends operational life.
