Product Description
Bearing (25MM)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the bore size of this bearing?
A: The YL 500120803 is a 25mm bearing. This size refers to the inner bore diameter. Verify that your equipment shaft diameter is 25mm before ordering, as fitting an undersized or oversized bearing will result in improper operation or failure.
Q: What Yale equipment is this bearing designed for?
A: This bearing is used in Yale electric lift truck assemblies, particularly in mast and drive applications. To confirm compatibility with your specific model, cross-reference the bearing part number on your equipment documentation.
Q: What material is this bearing made from?
A: Yale OEM bearings like the YL 500120803 are manufactured from through-hardened bearing steel designed for high load and high cycle applications typical of electric lift truck environments. This material composition ensures extended service life under repetitive loading.
Q: What type of bearing is this and what does that tell me about its application?
A: This is a ball bearing, which indicates it is used in radial load applications where smooth rotation and low friction are required. Ball bearings are common in mast lift mechanisms, drive shafts, and steering assemblies in electric pallet jacks.
Q: What lubricant should be used with this bearing?
A: Yale electric lift truck bearings perform best with lithium-based or EP (extreme pressure) bearing grease. Using incorrect lubricant can cause premature wear, increased friction, and bearing failure in high-load applications.
