Traverse Bearing
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What pallet jack models does the EA E177 traverse bearing fit?
A: The EA E177 traverse bearing is compatible with manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster. Verify your equipment model and serial range for fitment confirmation.
Q: What is the load rating of the EA E177 traverse bearing?
A: The EA E177 traverse bearing is engineered for the standard load capacity of manual pallet jacks, typically in the 4,000 to 6,000 pound range depending on your jack model. Do not exceed the rated load capacity of your equipment, as it will accelerate bearing wear and failure.
Q: What material is the EA E177 traverse bearing made from?
A: The EA E177 is a ball bearing or roller bearing with steel races and balls, designed to handle both radial and some axial loads from the traverse beam. The bearing is sealed or shielded to exclude moisture and contamination.
Q: How long does the EA E177 traverse bearing typically last?
A: Traverse bearings typically last 5 to 10 years in normal warehouse service. Heavy lifting cycles, loaded side-tilt operations, or exposure to moisture will reduce bearing life significantly.
Q: What symptoms indicate the EA E177 traverse bearing needs replacement?
A: Signs of bearing failure include grinding or squeaking noise from the traverse beam during side-tilt, rough or stiff lateral movement, or visible play in the beam. A degraded bearing will cause uneven lifting and may damage the traverse frame.
Q: Does the EA E177 traverse bearing require lubrication?
A: The EA E177 bearing is typically a sealed or shielded bearing requiring minimal lubrication. Do not over-grease sealed bearings, as excess lubricant will attract dirt and shorten bearing life. Consult your equipment manual for any lubrication interval.
