Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment does the YL 5196168-04 bearing pilot fit?
A: The YL 5196168-04 bearing pilot is designed for Yale model 6600 pallet jacks. This component provides bore alignment and support for the load wheel or caster bearing assembly.
Q: What is the function of a bearing pilot?
A: A bearing pilot aligns and centers the bearing bore on the axle shaft. This ensures proper bearing seating, reduces radial runout, and distributes loads evenly across the bearing raceway for smooth wheel rotation and extended bearing life.
Q: What material is the YL 5196168-04 bearing pilot made from?
A: This bearing pilot is manufactured from steel or stainless steel to withstand mechanical loads and resist wear from repeated bearing assembly and disassembly operations.
Q: When should the bearing pilot be replaced?
A: Replace the bearing pilot if it becomes damaged, worn, or corroded such that it no longer provides consistent bore alignment. A damaged pilot compromises bearing concentricity and shortens wheel bearing service life.
