Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the RA 443-032 bearing and what equipment does it fit?
A: The RA 443-032 is a Raymond OEM bearing with double-row ball construction and dual rubber shields, specified for manual pallet jack wheel assemblies. It is an OEM-grade part designed for direct replacement in Raymond pallet jacks and provides long service life in material handling environments.
Q: What is the bearing construction and shield design of the RA 443-032?
A: The RA 443-032 features double-row ball construction that distributes radial loads across two rolling surfaces. Dual rubber shields made from synthetic rubber elastomer provide effective dust and moisture exclusion, which prevents contamination and extends bearing life in warehouse and outdoor material handling operations.
Q: What alternate part numbers apply to the RA 443-032?
A: The RA 443-032 is also referenced as RA443032 (no space, no hyphen format). No cross-references with competing manufacturers are reported for this bearing. Order using the OEM part number RA 443-032 to ensure direct fitment in Raymond manual pallet jacks.
Q: Why are rubber shields important on the RA 443-032 bearing?
A: Synthetic rubber elastomer shields block dirt, moisture, and debris from entering the bearing cavity. In material handling environments where pallet jacks operate on dirty floors or in cold storage, shield protection dramatically extends bearing life by preventing internal corrosion and contamination-induced wear.
Q: What is the typical service life of the RA 443-032 bearing in manual pallet jack applications?
A: OEM-grade construction and dual shield protection provide long service life under typical manual pallet jack duty cycles. Bearing life depends on load frequency, floor conditions, and maintenance. Replace the bearing if you observe rough wheel rotation, wobble, or noise during operation.
