Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BJ 0000-000420-00 bearing used for?
A: The BJ 0000-000420-00 is a double shielded ball bearing used in load wheel and fork assemblies on Big Joe electric lift trucks. It provides radial and axial load support in rotating wheel applications.
Q: Which Big Joe models are compatible with the BJ 0000-000420-00?
A: The BJ 0000-000420-00 is designed for Big Joe PDS 30 and PDS 40 electric lift truck models. Verify your model designation before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
Q: What does double shielded mean for this bearing?
A: Double shielded indicates that the ball bearing has protective covers on both sides. These shields retain internal grease, reduce contamination ingress, and extend bearing life in material handling environments. Double shielded bearings are grease-lubricated and not designed for field relubrication.
Q: How long does the BJ 0000-000420-00 bearing last?
A: Double shielded ball bearing lifespan depends on operating conditions, load distribution, and maintenance. Under normal material handling duty, this bearing provides extended service. Replace the bearing if you notice increased noise, grinding, wheel drag, or lockup during operation.
Q: Can the BJ 0000-000420-00 be relubricated?
A: No. The double shielded design is sealed and not designed for field relubrication. Once the internal grease is depleted, the bearing must be replaced. Attempting to force lubricant past the shields will damage them.
Q: What symptoms indicate the BJ 0000-000420-00 bearing needs replacement?
A: Replace the bearing if you observe increased wheel noise, grinding or metal-on-metal sounds from the load wheel, excessive wheel drag, wheel wobble, or loss of lift height at normal load. These symptoms indicate internal bearing damage or wear.
