CR 065081-017

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the specifications of the CR 065081-017 bearing?
A: The CR 065081-017 is a premium deep groove ball bearing for electric lift trucks with a 0.669 inch inner diameter, 1.574 inch outer diameter, 0.467 inch width, and dual seals for extended service life. The seals are manufactured from nitrile rubber bonded to steel.

Q: Which Crown equipment models use the CR 065081-017?
A: The CR 065081-017 is engineered for electric lift trucks and fits pallet jacks made by Crown, model Wave. This bearing is typically installed in mast chain assemblies where sealed protection is critical. Confirm your Wave model serial range before ordering.

Q: Why does the CR 065081-017 have dual seals for mast chain applications?
A: Mast chain assemblies are exposed to wire brush debris, dust, and lubricant spray during lift cycles. The dual seals on the CR 065081-017 protect against these contaminants and extend bearing life in this high-stress application. The seals reduce maintenance frequency compared to open bearings and prevent premature wear of the mast rollers.

Q: What is the typical service life for a CR 065081-017 in mast chain duty?
A: The CR 065081-017 is rated for 2000 to 8000 operating hours in normal mast lift duty, depending on cycle frequency and load weight. Replace the bearing if you detect grinding noise, vibration, or resistance during mast raise or lower operations. Inspect seal condition every 1000 hours if equipment operates in dusty environments.

Q: Can the CR 065081-017 be used in cold storage or high-humidity environments?
A: The CR 065081-017 features nitrile rubber seals that provide reliable protection in cold storage and humid warehouse settings. Nitrile maintains flexibility at temperatures as low as minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit. For extremely cold environments below minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit or applications requiring enhanced water resistance, contact us to verify alternative seal materials available for your Crown Wave model.

Q: What is the difference between CR 065081-017 and CR 065081-010?
A: The CR 065081-017 has a smaller 1.574 inch outer diameter and is designed for mast chain applications with dual nitrile seals. The CR 065081-010 is larger at 2.44 inches and is used in wheel assemblies. Choose CR 065081-017 for mast lift duty and CR 065081-010 for load wheel duty. Verify your equipment manual to confirm the correct bearing location and part number.
