YL 220050324

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the specifications of the YL 220050324 bearing?
A: The YL 220050324 is a Yale OEM single shield ball bearing with a 25 mm bore. It is manufactured from AISI 52100 bearing steel, a high-carbon material engineered for durability and load-carrying capacity in industrial lift truck applications.

Q: What Yale equipment is the YL 220050324 bearing compatible with?
A: The YL 220050324 is designed exclusively for Yale electric lift truck applications. This bearing is manufactured to Yale OEM specifications and is not cross-compatible with other brands or non-Yale forklift equipment.

Q: Why is AISI 52100 bearing steel used in this bearing?
A: AISI 52100 is a high-carbon bearing steel selected for its high hardness, excellent fatigue resistance, and ability to withstand the repetitive loading cycles typical of electric lift truck mast and idler operations. This material provides long-term reliability in industrial environments.

Q: How does the single shield design affect maintenance?
A: The single shield design allows for lubrication access on one side of the bearing while providing some protection from debris. This configuration requires periodic greasing to maintain performance and extend bearing life in lift truck applications.

Q: What is the typical service life of this bearing?
A: Service life depends on load cycles, operating conditions, and maintenance schedule. Properly lubricated bearings typically perform reliably for several years in standard material handling operations before wear or noise indicates replacement is needed.
