YL 220051023

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the specifications of the YL 220051023 bearing?
A: The YL 220051023 is a Yale OEM double shielded ball bearing engineered for electric lift truck applications. It is built to Yale manufacturer specifications for reliable performance in mast, idler, and load wheel positions.

Q: What is the advantage of the double shield design?
A: The double shield configuration provides protection on both sides of the bearing, offering better contamination exclusion and debris resistance compared to single shield designs. This reduces wear and extends bearing life in dusty or wet warehouse environments.

Q: What Yale equipment is the YL 220051023 compatible with?
A: The YL 220051023 is designed exclusively for Yale electric lift truck applications. Verify your truck model, serial range, and the specific location where this bearing is installed to confirm compatibility.

Q: How does the double shield design affect lubrication maintenance?
A: Double shielded bearings retain lubrication more effectively than open designs and reduce the need for frequent greasing. However, follow your Yale lift truck service manual for recommended maintenance intervals, as lubrication access may be limited compared to single shield bearings.

Q: What is the typical service life of this double shielded bearing?
A: With proper maintenance and under normal material handling conditions, a Yale OEM double shielded bearing typically performs reliably for several years. The enhanced shield design often extends lifespan by reducing contamination and wear compared to non-shielded alternatives.

Q: How does this bearing differ from the YL 220050324 single shield bearing?
A: The YL 220051023 double shielded bearing offers better contamination protection than the single shield YL 220050324, making it more suitable for wet or dusty operating conditions. However, both are Yale OEM parts designed for specific equipment positions; confirm which bearing your truck requires before ordering.
