RA 442-244

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the RA 442-244 bearing and what equipment does it fit?
A: The RA 442-244 is a Raymond OEM roller bearing designed as a drive end bearing for electric lift trucks. It features precision radial roller design and high-grade steel construction. This bearing is recommended as an OEM spare for Raymond lift equipment and supports both radial and axial loads in drive applications.

Q: What are the material specifications for the RA 442-244 bearing?
A: The RA 442-244 is constructed from high-grade steel engineered for extended service life in industrial material handling applications. The precision radial roller design allows efficient load distribution, which helps minimize friction and wear under continuous duty.

Q: What alternate part numbers reference the RA 442-244?
A: The RA 442-244 may be cross-referenced as RA442-244 (no space format) or RAY-442-244. When ordering, confirm the OEM part number 442-244 matches your equipment documentation to ensure correct fitment.

Q: How does the RA 442-244 perform under load in electric lift truck service?
A: The precision radial roller design is engineered to handle both radial and axial loads typical in electric lift truck drive assemblies. High-grade steel construction extends bearing life under continuous duty cycles, reducing unplanned downtime and maintenance frequency.

Q: What is the service life expectancy for the RA 442-244 bearing?
A: Service life depends on load conditions, operating hours, and maintenance practices. The high-grade steel construction provides extended durability in typical electric lift truck applications. Inspect for noise, vibration, or play during regular equipment maintenance to determine replacement timing.
