Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does BS 6206 refer to?
A: BS 6206 is a deep groove ball bearing with an inner diameter of 30mm and outer diameter of 62mm. The BS designation indicates this is a metric deep groove ball bearing that is commonly used in load wheel assemblies on manual and electric pallet jacks.
Q: What is the difference between BS 6206 and sealed versions like BS 6206 2RS or BS 6206 ZZ?
A: BS 6206 is an open bearing with no seals. 2RS adds rubber seals on both sides, and ZZ adds metal shields. Open bearings require periodic lubrication and are best for dry indoor environments. Sealed versions are better for wet or dusty conditions but cost more.
Q: Which pallet jack brands use the BS 6206 bearing?
A: The 6206 bearing size is used in load wheel assemblies for Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and similar manual pallet jack models. Cross-reference your equipment model number to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Q: Can I substitute a sealed bearing version if my equipment calls for an open BS 6206?
A: Yes, you can substitute BS 6206 2RS or BS 6206 ZZ for open BS 6206 in most applications, as dimensions are identical. Sealed versions offer better protection in wet or dirty conditions but may run slightly hotter due to increased resistance.
Q: What is the load rating for this bearing?
A: The BS 6206 has a basic dynamic load rating of approximately 7,800 pounds. This rating assumes proper installation, adequate lubrication, and normal operating conditions. Check the bearing specification sheet for exact ratings under your specific load and speed conditions.
