Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BRG1107-6 bearing assembly used for?
A: The BRG1107-6 is a bearing assembly designed for forklift load wheel and steer wheel applications. This assembly is compatible with electric and internal combustion forklifts from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other major OEM brands. Verify your forklift model and load wheel diameter before ordering to confirm proper fitment.
Q: Can the BRG1107-6 bearing assembly be used in manual pallet jacks?
A: No. The BRG1107-6 is engineered for forklift duty, which requires different load ratings, sealing, and internal tolerances than manual pallet jack bearings. Do not substitute BRG1107-6 for manual pallet jack bearing assemblies such as BRG1107-5. Using the wrong bearing type will cause premature wear and potential load failure.
Q: What material is the BRG1107-6 bearing assembly made from?
A: Bearing assemblies in the BRG1107 series are typically manufactured from chrome steel (AISI 52100) for the races and balls, with nitrile rubber seals. This combination provides corrosion resistance and durability in industrial material-handling environments. Chrome steel offers high hardness and load-carrying capability required for forklift wheels.
Q: How do I know if a BRG1107-6 bearing assembly needs replacement?
A: Replace the bearing assembly if you notice grinding noise from the wheel, resistance to free rotation, lateral play in the wheel, or visible corrosion on the exterior seal. On load wheels, excessive bearing wear will reduce forklift capacity and stability. On steer wheels, worn bearings reduce steering response and tire contact.
