Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CR 41201 and where is it used?
A: The CR 41201 is a genuine Crown bronze alloy bushing for Crown PTH 50 Series manual pallet jack frames. It serves as a rotational or pivot sleeve bushing in the load transfer mechanism and steering assembly. This is a sealed-for-life component.
Q: Which serial numbers are compatible with the CR 41201?
A: The CR 41201 is certified for Crown PTH 50 Series pallet jacks with serial numbers 7-512501 and above. Do not install this bushing on earlier production units as bore dimensions and frame geometry may differ.
Q: What is the material composition of the CR 41201?
A: The CR 41201 is a solid machined bronze alloy (brass-copper blend) engineered for low-friction rotation and pivot applications. The material is oil-impregnated during manufacturing to provide inherent lubrication throughout the service life.
Q: Does the CR 41201 require external lubrication?
A: No. The CR 41201 is sealed for life with integral oil impregnation. Do not apply grease or oil to this bushing. Overgreasing will attract dirt and compromise the sealed design, leading to accelerated wear.
Q: How long does the CR 41201 bushing last?
A: The CR 41201 typically lasts 5 to 10 years in normal warehouse operation. Lifespan depends on load intensity, frame alignment, and bearing preload. Replace if you observe noise, play, or resistance to rotation in the pivot joint.
Q: Can I replace just the bushing or must I replace the entire assembly?
A: The CR 41201 is a standalone bushing component and can be replaced independently. However, inspect the mating bore in the frame for scoring or corrosion. If the bore is damaged, frame repair or replacement may be necessary for proper bushing seating.
