Double Row Ball Bearing
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BR 9997-079 bearing used for?
A: The BR 9997-079 is a double row ball bearing designed for electric lift truck applications. Double row construction handles both radial and thrust loads, making it suitable for wheel, motor, or drive shaft applications where multi-directional load support is required.
Q: Is the BR 9997-079 compatible with multiple lift truck brands?
A: The BR 9997-079 may be compatible with electric lift trucks from manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, CAT, and BT, depending on application and dimensional specifications. Verify your equipment model, bearing cavity dimensions, and load requirements before ordering.
Q: What does double row ball bearing design mean?
A: A double row ball bearing contains two separate sets of ball elements arranged in distinct rows within a single bearing housing. This configuration increases load capacity and provides support for both radial loads (perpendicular to the shaft) and thrust loads (along the shaft direction), which is essential for electric lift truck duty.
Q: How do I confirm the BR 9997-079 fits my lift truck?
A: Verify the bearing cavity diameter, bore size, and width dimensions in your equipment documentation. Also check the load rating specification to ensure it matches your application requirements. Provide your lift truck make, model, and serial number if you need fitment confirmation.
Q: What maintenance or inspection is recommended for the BR 9997-079?
A: Inspect for abnormal noise, increased rolling resistance, or excessive play during routine equipment maintenance. If the bearing shows signs of wear such as grinding sounds or rough rotation, it should be replaced. Proper lubrication according to your equipment manufacturer guidelines will extend bearing life.
