Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does open bearing mean on BS 6207?
A: BS 6207 is an open bearing with no seals or shields. It has completely exposed races and rolling elements. Open bearings require regular grease lubrication and are best suited for dry, clean indoor environments like standard warehouse operations.
Q: What are the typical dimensions and bore size of BS 6207?
A: BS 6207 is a metric deep groove ball bearing with a 35mm inner diameter and 72mm outer diameter. This size is larger than BS 6206 and is used in specific load wheel applications on certain manual pallet jack models. Verify dimensions match your equipment.
Q: Which pallet jack brands use BS 6207 bearings?
A: The 6207 bearing size is found in load wheel assemblies on Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster manual pallet jacks, typically in larger capacity models. Cross-reference your equipment specifications to confirm this bearing is correct for your application.
Q: What maintenance is required for open BS 6207 bearings?
A: Open bearings require periodic re-lubrication with bearing grease, typically every 3-6 months depending on usage frequency and storage conditions. Inspect bearings regularly for contamination, rust, or rough rotation. Replace if seizing or excessive play occurs.
Q: Can I upgrade from BS 6207 open to a sealed version?
A: If your equipment uses 6207 bearings, sealed alternatives like 6207 2RS or 6207 ZZ can be substituted if dimensions match. Sealed versions require less maintenance but cost more. Check bearing bore and outer diameter before ordering to ensure compatibility.
