Ball Bearing (Traverse)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the purpose of the CR 80080 ball bearing in an electric lift truck?
A: The CR 80080 is a traverse ball bearing that enables independent, smooth rotation of load wheels on Crown electric lift trucks. The traverse designation indicates it manages lateral (side-to-side) load distribution and wheel movement during steering and travel.
Q: What bearing dimensions and specifications should I verify for the CR 80080?
A: Before ordering, confirm bore diameter, outer diameter, width, and load rating match your lift truck assembly. The CR 80080 is engineered for specific Crown electric models. Contact us with your equipment model number to verify bore size and mounting configuration.
Q: What are common failure symptoms of a worn traverse bearing?
A: Worn traverse bearings typically produce grinding or squealing noises, uneven wheel wear, vibration during travel, or difficulty steering. Wheels may wobble or bind laterally. If you hear noise from the wheel assembly during operation, bearing replacement is warranted.
Q: How long does a traverse bearing typically last in normal operation?
A: In moderate warehouse use, traverse bearings last 3 to 7 years depending on floor conditions, load frequency, and maintenance. Rough or dirty warehouse conditions accelerate wear. Regular bearing inspection reduces unexpected downtime and extends equipment life.
