Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of seal is the BT 27810-00?
A: The BT 27810-00 is a felt seal designed to prevent dust, moisture, and contaminants from entering the caster assembly bearing cavity. Felt seals are commonly used in material handling equipment for this protective function.
Q: Where is the BT 27810-00 felt seal installed on a caster?
A: This felt seal is installed in the caster assembly, typically at the bearing interface or axle housing, to shield internal bearing surfaces and grease from environmental contamination during equipment operation.
Q: How often should the BT 27810-00 felt seal be replaced?
A: Replace the felt seal when visible damage, flattening, hardening, or separation from the caster housing occurs, or if bearing noise develops indicating that contaminants have compromised the bearing. Frequency depends on duty cycle and floor conditions.
Q: What happens if the felt seal fails or is missing?
A: A failed or missing felt seal allows dust, water, and debris to enter the bearing cavity, accelerating bearing wear, increasing friction, and causing noise or steering resistance. Prompt replacement prevents premature bearing failure.
