Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the BA 5205 ZZ bearing specification mean?
A: The BA 5205 ZZ is a deep groove ball bearing with the designation 5205 in the SKF or equivalent numbering system. The ZZ suffix indicates the bearing has metal shields on both sides to keep contaminants out. This bearing is commonly used as a load wheel bearing in electric pallet jacks and lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale.
Q: What are the dimensions of the BA 5205 ZZ bearing?
A: The BA 5205 ZZ follows standard ISO 5205 dimensions: 25mm bore, 52mm outer diameter, and 15mm width. Before ordering, confirm these dimensions match your load wheel axle and housing. Measure the axle diameter and wheel bore to verify fitment. Cross-reference with your equipment manual for the correct bearing specification.
Q: Can the BA 5205 ZZ bearing be used in wet or cold storage environments?
A: The BA 5205 ZZ is suitable for standard warehouse conditions. The metal shields provide basic protection against moisture and dust. If your equipment operates regularly in wet or cold storage environments below 0 degrees Celsius, consider bearing maintenance intervals more frequently. Monitor for rust or bearing noise and replace if performance degrades.
Q: How long does the BA 5205 ZZ bearing last under normal load?
A: Under typical warehouse operation with loads within the bearing rated capacity, the BA 5205 ZZ should last 3-5 years or longer. Actual lifespan depends on daily cycle frequency, load weight, and maintenance practices. Bearings operating under overload conditions fail faster. Replace the bearing if you notice grinding noise, wheel wobble, or increased rolling resistance.
Q: What maintenance does the BA 5205 ZZ bearing require?
A: The BA 5205 ZZ is a sealed bearing requiring no regular lubrication. Monitor the bearing for noise or unusual vibration during operation. Keep the surrounding area clean to prevent debris accumulation. If the bearing makes grinding sounds or the wheel does not spin freely, the bearing is worn and must be replaced. Do not attempt to disassemble or relubricate sealed bearings.
