Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the BS 6004 2RS bearing?
A: The BS 6004 2RS cross-references to 6004, 6004 RS, 6004 RSR, 6004 2RSR, 6004 RSH, 6004 2RSH, 6004 2RSJEM, 6004 LU, 6004 LLU, 6004 DU, 6004 DDU, 6004 2NSL, 6004 2NSE, and 6004 EE. This bearing is interchangeable with equivalent deep groove ball bearings from major OEM bearing manufacturers used in manual pallet jacks and other material handling equipment.
Q: What material is the BS 6004 2RS bearing made from?
A: The BS 6004 2RS is constructed from high-quality chrome steel (GCr15) with a chrome-plated steel finish. This material provides corrosion resistance and durability in typical warehouse and industrial environments, including exposure to moisture and moderate chemical contact.
Q: What does the 2RS designation mean on this bearing?
A: The 2RS designation indicates the bearing has two rubber seals, one on each side. These seals provide protection against dust, moisture, and contamination while retaining the factory grease. The rubber seals reduce the need for external lubrication in typical material handling applications.
Q: Which manual pallet jack equipment models use the BS 6004 2RS bearing?
A: The BS 6004 2RS bearing is used in various manual pallet jacks, electric pallet jacks, and load-lifting equipment from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other major manufacturers. Verify the bearing bore and dimensions on your specific equipment to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Q: What is the typical service life of a BS 6004 2RS bearing?
A: With proper maintenance and typical operating conditions in material handling, the BS 6004 2RS bearing provides 3-5 years of service life or longer depending on load, speed, and environmental exposure. Bearings operating in wet or cold storage environments may require more frequent monitoring.
Q: Can I interchange BS 6004 2RS with other seal types like ZZ or open?
A: Yes, if your equipment has space for the rubber seals. The 2RS (dual rubber seals) variant is generally more protective than open or ZZ (metal shield) versions in wet and dusty conditions. However, confirm that the rubber seals do not contact adjacent components and verify the bearing housing depth before substituting.
