Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the EA E109 bushing used for?
A: The EA E109 bushing is a bearing component that provides a smooth, low-friction surface where shafts rotate or pivot within the pallet jack frame. It reduces wear on both the shaft and the surrounding metal housing.
Q: What material is the EA E109 bushing made from?
A: The EA E109 is typically manufactured from bronze-polymer composite or sintered bronze. These materials provide self-lubricating properties and can function effectively in both dry and partially lubricated conditions common in warehouse equipment.
Q: Which manual pallet jack models use the EA E109 bushing?
A: The EA E109 bushing is compatible with manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster. Confirm your equipment model and the specific bushing bore diameter before ordering, as bushing sizes vary across different jack designs.
Q: What are signs the EA E109 bushing is worn and needs replacement?
A: Replace the EA E109 if you observe grinding or squealing noises during jack operation, excessive lateral shaft movement or wobbling, visible cracks or spalling on the bushing surface, or rough rather than smooth shaft rotation.
Q: How long does the EA E109 bushing typically last?
A: In standard warehouse service, the EA E109 bushing typically functions for 18 to 30 months of regular operation. Lifespan depends on load intensity, usage frequency, and environmental conditions. Regular lubrication extends bushing life.
