Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CR 42053-002 bushing for?
A: The CR 42053-002 is a bushing for Crown electric lift trucks used in steering, mast, and load-wheel assemblies. It functions as a low-friction bearing surface between shafts and mounting brackets to control play and reduce wear on moving parts.
Q: Is the CR 42053-002 different from the CR 42053-001?
A: Both CR 42053-001 and CR 42053-002 are bushings for Crown lift trucks. The different part numbers indicate they fit different shaft diameters or bore dimensions. Compare your equipment shaft size to the bushing specifications before ordering.
Q: What happens if the CR 42053-002 bushing is not replaced when worn?
A: Continued operation with a worn bushing allows direct metal-to-metal contact between the shaft and mounting bracket. This causes rapid damage to both the shaft and bracket, increases steering effort or mast resistance, and creates safety hazards. Replace worn bushings immediately.
Q: What material composition does the CR 42053-002 bushing have?
A: The CR 42053-002 is typically made from bronze or self-lubricating composite material designed to reduce friction and operate with minimal external lubrication. Material selection depends on the specific bearing load and application within the lift truck assembly.
