Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the IU BR-487 cone component used for in electric lift truck bearings?
A: The IU BR-487 is the inner cone (inner race) of a roller bearing assembly. It mounts on the axle and works with the bearing cup to support rolling loads in wheel and drive wheel assemblies on electric lift trucks.
Q: Which electric lift truck models use the IU BR-487 bearing cone?
A: The IU BR-487 fits electric pallet jacks, hand carts, and lift truck wheel assemblies from Toyota, Crown, Raymond, Hyster, Linde, Jungheinrich, and BT equipment. Verify equipment model and axle specifications for compatibility.
Q: What material is the IU BR-487 cone made from?
A: The IU BR-487 bearing cone is hardened steel designed to provide a rolling surface for bearing rollers. Steel hardness ensures the cone resists deformation under load and maintains dimensional stability throughout its service life.
Q: What symptoms indicate the IU BR-487 bearing cone needs replacement?
A: Replace the cone if you observe: wheel grinding or squealing noises, excessive radial play, rough or uneven wheel rotation, or visible damage to the cone surface. A damaged cone indicates the bearing assembly must be replaced.
Q: Is the IU BR-487 cone sold as a separate component or as part of an assembly?
A: The IU BR-487 bearing cone is typically sold as part of a complete bearing kit that includes the cone, cup, and rollers. Verify whether your order requires the cone only or the complete bearing assembly.
Q: How do axle diameter and cone bore size affect IU BR-487 fitment?
A: The IU BR-487 cone bore diameter must match your equipment axle diameter exactly. Standard sizes are 25mm, 30mm, and 35mm. Verify axle specifications in your lift truck manual to confirm the correct cone size before ordering.
