Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of bearing is the CT 972362?
A: The CT 972362 is a single tapered roller bearing cone featuring industry-standard conical roller architecture. It is designed to support radial loads in Caterpillar electric lift trucks.
Q: Which Caterpillar equipment uses the CT 972362 bearing cone?
A: This bearing cone is compatible with select Caterpillar electric lift trucks. The OEM part marking is CT0972362. Cross-reference part numbers are not available for this specific configuration.
Q: What is the material composition of this tapered roller bearing cone?
A: Tapered roller bearing cones are constructed from hardened alloy steel to withstand radial and moderate thrust loads. The conical design distributes loads across the rolling elements for durability in material handling applications.
Q: How long does a tapered roller bearing cone typically last?
A: Bearing cone lifespan depends on load conditions, lubrication, and operating environment. Properly lubricated bearings can last thousands of operating hours. Contamination, inadequate lubrication, or overloading will shorten service life significantly.
Q: What are the signs that a bearing cone needs replacement?
A: Symptoms include grinding noise during operation, increased friction, uneven wear on rolling elements, pitting on the conical surface, or visible corrosion. If these conditions are present, the bearing cone should be replaced to prevent equipment failure.
