Bearing Assembly Single Shield

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is SKU F021013 and what equipment does it fit?
A: SKU F021013 is a single-shield bearing assembly for manual pallet jacks. It is compatible with common manual pallet jack models from manufacturers such as Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster. Confirm dimensions match your equipment before ordering.

Q: How does a single-shield bearing differ from a double-shield bearing?
A: A single-shield bearing has protection on one side only, making it easier to access and re-lubricate but offering less contamination protection. A double-shield bearing provides protection on both sides, better resisting water and debris but making re-lubrication more difficult. Choose single-shield for applications requiring regular maintenance and easy grease access.

Q: What symptoms indicate SKU F021013 needs replacement?
A: Replace the bearing if you experience rough or grinding rotation, increased resistance when manually pumping the jack, visible play or wobbling in the load wheel or pivot, or audible noise during normal operation. These signs indicate bearing wear or contamination that will worsen and eventually lock up.

Q: What are the material specifications for SKU F021013?
A: SKU F021013 uses hardened steel ball races and balls designed for the repetitive impacts and sustained loads typical of manual pallet jack operation. The cage is constructed from steel or brass depending on production batch. Grease fill is lithium or synthetic compound rated for the temperature and duty cycle range of material handling equipment.

Q: Does SKU F021013 require periodic maintenance?
A: Yes. The single shield allows access to the bearing for periodic grease reapplication. Schedule lubrication based on your equipment usage frequency and operating environment. More frequent maintenance is required in wet, dusty, or cold storage conditions. Check for contamination and repack with fresh grease as needed to extend bearing life.
