Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is an Oilite bearing and how does the BR T-29-739 function?
A: The BR T-29-739 is a sintered bronze Oilite bearing that provides self-lubricating performance in lift truck pivot points and mechanical linkages. Oilite bearings contain microscopic oil reservoirs within the porous bronze structure, releasing lubricant during operation to reduce friction and wear without external greasing.
Q: Where is the BR T-29-739 bearing used on electric lift trucks?
A: The BR T-29-739 is used in steering assemblies, mast pivot mechanisms, load wheel assemblies, and other rotating or articulating joints on electric lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and similar OEM brands. Location varies by equipment model and series.
Q: What are the size and dimensional specifications for the BR T-29-739?
A: Contact us for detailed dimensional specifications including bore diameter, outer diameter, and length of the BR T-29-739 bearing. Oilite bearing dimensions are precision-engineered for specific pivot applications. Verify dimensions match your equipment to ensure proper fitment.
Q: How long does an Oilite bearing typically last?
A: Under normal warehouse operating conditions, Oilite bearings typically last 5 to 10 years before replacement is needed due to wear or oil depletion. Lifespan depends on operating hours, load conditions, and environmental factors. Bearings exposed to high temperatures or heavy duty cycles may require more frequent replacement.
Q: Does the BR T-29-739 Oilite bearing require lubrication or maintenance?
A: Oilite bearings are self-lubricating by design and do not require greasing or oiling during normal operation. However, operation in extremely dry environments or extended idle periods may deplete internal oil reserves. If the bearing makes noise or shows excess friction after long storage, it may need replacement rather than additional lubrication.
