Flanged Bearing
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a flanged bearing and what does the BR 9997-064 do?
A: The BR 9997-064 is a flanged bearing, which features an integral flange on one or both bearing rings. The flange acts as a shoulder to keep the bearing seated in the housing and prevents lateral shaft movement. This design is commonly used in electric lift truck applications where precise axial positioning is required.
Q: Which electric lift trucks are compatible with the BR 9997-064?
A: The BR 9997-064 is specified for electric lift truck applications. Common electric lift truck brands include Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, CAT, and BT. Verify your specific equipment model and bearing cavity dimensions to confirm fitment before ordering.
Q: What are the advantages of a flanged bearing like the BR 9997-064?
A: Flanged bearings eliminate the need for separate shaft shoulders or spacers, reducing assembly complexity and part count. The integral flange provides reliable axial positioning, which is critical in lift truck applications where precision wheel alignment and load distribution must be maintained throughout the equipment lifespan.
Q: How do I verify the BR 9997-064 is the correct bearing for my lift truck?
A: Confirm the bearing cavity diameter, bore size, and width dimensions against your equipment documentation. Also verify the load rating and flange specifications match your application. If you have questions about fitment, provide your equipment make, model, and serial number for verification.
