Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions of BT 20017 bearing?
A: BT 20017 is a deep groove ball bearing with a 17 mm bore diameter, 47 mm outer diameter, and 14 mm width. Use these dimensions to verify fitment in your load wheel assembly.
Q: Is BT 20017 sealed or open type?
A: BT 20017 is a sealed bearing with double shields (2RS designation). The double shields provide protection against contamination and water ingress, making it suitable for wet or dirty environments.
Q: What equipment is BT 20017 designed for?
A: BT 20017 is manufactured for BT Prime Mover and BT manual pallet jack load wheel assemblies. Confirm your truck model is BT Prime Mover series or equivalent to verify compatibility.
Q: How does the double shield seal on BT 20017 protect the bearing?
A: The 2RS (double shield) design uses two metal shields on each side to contain bearing grease and block dust, debris, and moisture. This extends bearing life in material handling applications but means the bearing cannot be regreased.
Q: Can BT 20017 be relubricated or is it sealed for life?
A: BT 20017 is sealed for life. The double shield design does not allow for relubricating grease ports. When bearing resistance increases or noise develops, replacement is necessary.
Q: What symptoms indicate BT 20017 bearing failure?
A: Worn BT 20017 bearings typically produce grinding noise, increased drag on the load wheel, or lateral play in the wheel. Elevated operating temperature at the wheel hub also suggests bearing wear.
