Cone Bearing

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the bearing cone EP 6-313272-2 used for in pallet jacks?
A: The EP 6-313272-2 is a tapered bearing cone used in wheel hub assemblies on manual and electric pallet jacks. It works with a matching bearing cup to support the wheel and distribute loads. This cone sits inside the wheel hub and allows smooth rotation under load.

Q: What are the physical specifications and dimensions of the EP 6-313272-2 bearing cone?
A: The EP 6-313272-2 is a tapered roller bearing cone with specific bore diameter, outer diameter, and width dimensions. Cone and cup bearings must be matched pairs. Verify the exact dimensions and bore size match your wheel hub before ordering to ensure proper fit and load rating.

Q: Which pallet jack models and manufacturers use the EP 6-313272-2 bearing cone?
A: This bearing cone is compatible with manual pallet jacks and electric pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and similar OEM manufacturers. Fitment depends on wheel hub design, wheel diameter, and model year. Verify your equipment model and wheel assembly specifications before ordering.

Q: What materials are used in the EP 6-313272-2 bearing cone and how durable is it?
A: The EP 6-313272-2 bearing cone is made from hardened steel suitable for material handling duty cycles. Bearing life depends on load, speed, lubrication, and operating conditions. Typical lifespan is 3 to 7 years with proper maintenance. Bearings in high-capacity equipment or cold storage applications may wear faster.

Q: Does the EP 6-313272-2 bearing cone have cross-references or equivalent part numbers?
A: Cross-reference information depends on your specific pallet jack model and wheel assembly type. Provide your equipment model number, serial range, and wheel specifications and we can confirm fitment, identify equivalent cones, and verify if superseding parts are available.

Q: Should the EP 6-313272-2 bearing cone be ordered with a matching cup?
A: Yes. Tapered roller bearing cones and cups are matched pairs. Always order and replace them together to ensure proper fit and load distribution. Installing a new cone with an old cup or vice versa reduces bearing life and may cause wheel wobble or premature failure.
