Cone Bearing for Manual Pallet Jacks - OEM Replacement

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is BR-235 and what is it used for?
A: BR-235 is an OEM replacement tapered roller bearing cone designed specifically for manual pallet jack wheel axle applications. The bearing provides precise fit and maintains long operational service life in high-cycle material handling environments.

Q: What material is BR-235 made from?
A: BR-235 is constructed from bearing-grade SAE 52100 steel. This high-grade material provides superior hardness and wear resistance necessary for the repetitive loading cycles and precision requirements of pallet jack wheel applications.

Q: Which pallet jack brands use BR-235?
A: BR-235 is compatible with manual pallet jack models from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, and other standard industrial manufacturers. Verify tapered bearing fit specifications match your equipment before ordering.

Q: What does press fit application mean for BR-235?
A: BR-235 is designed for press fit installation on pallet jack wheel axles. This means the bearing cone is mounted with a slight interference fit to ensure precise positioning and load transfer under operating conditions.

Q: How long does BR-235 typically last in service?
A: Under normal warehouse conditions with moderate cycling, BR-235 typically provides 3 to 6 years of reliable service. High-volume operations or heavy-load applications may require replacement sooner depending on usage intensity.

Q: How do I know if BR-235 needs replacement?
A: Replace BR-235 if you notice increased friction during pallet jack operation, grinding or squealing sounds, or visible wear on the bearing cone surface. Improper rotation or axle play indicates the tapered bearing cone is worn and requires replacement.
