Q: What equipment does the RA 442-130 bearing fit?
A: The RA 442-130 is an OEM double seal ball bearing designed for Raymond electric lift trucks and pallet trucks. It is a genuine Raymond component engineered for precision fitment in Raymond equipment assemblies. Always verify your equipment model and serial range against the OEM specification sheet before ordering.

Q: What is the material composition of the RA 442-130?
A: The RA 442-130 features high-quality bearing-grade materials with double seal protection. The bearing races and balls are manufactured from hardened steel to handle radial loads in electric lift truck applications. The double seal configuration protects the bearing from contamination and extends operational life.

Q: How long does the RA 442-130 bearing typically last?
A: Lifespan depends on application severity, maintenance, and load conditions. The double seal design and pre-lubricated assembly support extended operational life. Regular inspection for noise, play, or heat generation will indicate when replacement is needed. Most OEM bearings last 2-4 years in typical industrial material handling use.

Q: Does the RA 442-130 require maintenance?
A: The RA 442-130 arrives pre-lubricated and sealed for extended performance. Monitor the bearing during operation for noise, vibration, or temperature changes, which indicate wear or seal degradation. Do not attempt to disassemble or re-lubricate; replace the entire bearing assembly when performance declines.
