Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CR 81273 bearing cup and what does it do?
A: The CR 81273 is a bearing cup (outer race) that works with a cone (inner race) to form a tapered roller bearing assembly. It supports radial and axial loads in mast lift and drive mechanisms.
Q: Which Crown equipment models use the CR 81273 bearing cup?
A: The CR 81273 is designed for Crown electric lift trucks and pallet jacks. Confirm your specific model and serial number range for proper fitment before ordering.
Q: What material is the CR 81273 bearing cup made from?
A: The CR 81273 cup is manufactured from hardened alloy steel with a raceway surface finished to precision tolerances. This material withstands high-cycle industrial loading and shock.
Q: How do I know when the CR 81273 bearing cup needs replacement?
A: Signs of bearing wear include noise, vibration, or play in the mast or drive axle. If the matching cone (CR 81274) shows spalling or corrosion, replace the cup and cone as a matched pair.
Q: Must the CR 81273 be ordered with a specific bearing cone?
A: Yes. The CR 81273 cup is matched with the CR 81274 cone to form a tapered roller bearing set. Order and install both together for proper fit and load distribution.
