Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications of the RA 441-116 bearing?
A: The RA 441-116 is a 20mm bore ball bearing with dual rubber shields on both sides. The dual shield design provides superior sealing protection compared to single-shield bearings, making it ideal for harsh material handling environments.
Q: How does the RA 441-116 differ from the RA 441-111?
A: Both the RA 441-116 and RA 441-111 have 20mm bores, but the key difference is shield configuration. The RA 441-116 has two rubber shields (one on each side), while the RA 441-111 has a single shield. The dual shields on the RA 441-116 offer increased contamination protection.
Q: What is the advantage of dual rubber shields on the RA 441-116?
A: Dual rubber shields trap contaminants and moisture on both sides of the bearing races, extending bearing life in wet, cold storage, and heavily soiled conditions common in material handling facilities. This design reduces maintenance frequency and extends equipment uptime.
Q: What lift truck equipment is the RA 441-116 compatible with?
A: The RA 441-116 is designed for electric lift truck applications using 20mm bore bearings. Verify compatibility with your specific lift truck model and serial range before ordering to ensure proper fitment in drive assemblies.
Q: When should I choose the RA 441-116 over a single-shield bearing?
A: Select the RA 441-116 if your lift trucks operate frequently in wet conditions, cold storage environments, or heavily contaminated areas. The dual shields reduce ingress of water and debris, improving bearing durability and reducing premature failures.
