Precision Ball Bearing for Pallet Jack Wheels

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the specifications of BR-1272 bearing assembly?
A: BR-1272 is a precision single shield ball bearing assembly with a nominal bore diameter of 20 mm, outer diameter of 47 mm, and bearing width of 14 mm. It is manufactured from chrome steel (SAE 52100) and designed for press fit installation in manual pallet jack wheel hubs.

Q: Which manual pallet jacks use BR-1272?
A: BR-1272 fits manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, and CAT. The 20 mm bore diameter is common in standard capacity models. Verify your fork wheel hub bore matches 20 mm before ordering.

Q: What is the service life of BR-1272?
A: BR-1272 bearing assembly typically lasts 18 to 36 months in standard warehouse service with regular use. Service life depends on load frequency, surface conditions, and maintenance. High-frequency operations or rough flooring reduce bearing lifespan. Replace immediately upon detecting wheel wobble, grinding sounds, or reduced rolling smoothness.

Q: Why is BR-1272 precision manufactured?
A: Precision manufacturing of BR-1272 ensures tight tolerances and proper rolling motion with minimal runout. This reduces wheel vibration, improves steering response, and distributes load evenly across the bearing races. Precision bearings also reduce wear on the fork frame and tire, extending overall equipment life.

Q: Does BR-1272 require any special storage or handling?
A: BR-1272 bearings should be stored in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Avoid exposure to moisture, salt, or corrosive chemicals during storage. Keep bearings in their original protective packaging until ready for use. Do not expose the press fit bore to contamination or damage prior to installation.
