Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the complete specifications for RA 631-031-002-A?
A: RA 631-031-002-A features a 4.00 inch outer diameter with 2.88 inch tread width. The tread is 95 Shore A polyurethane (95A Durometer) on a precision machined cast iron core. It includes dual 6205-2RS sealed precision bearings with a 25 mm bore and comes as a complete assembly ready for mounting.
Q: Which Raymond models is RA 631-031-002-A designed to replace?
A: RA 631-031-002-A is a direct replacement for Raymond 7200, 7300, 7400, 7500, and 7600 series reach trucks and walkie reach models. It also replaces earlier part numbers RA631-031-002-A and 631-031-002-A when those original wheels reach end of service life.
Q: What is the advantage of dual 6205-2RS sealed bearings in RA 631-031-002-A?
A: Dual 6205-2RS sealed bearings provide superior load distribution, reduced friction, and extended bearing life in high-cycle electric truck applications. The 2RS seals prevent moisture and contamination ingress, critical for maintaining bearing performance in industrial warehouse environments.
Q: How does the 95 Shore A hardness rating affect durability and performance?
A: 95 Shore A (ASTM D2240) indicates a durable, semi-rigid polyurethane compound resistant to compression set and wear. This hardness level is optimized for electric lift trucks, providing long tread life while maintaining floor contact and load capacity across concrete, sealed, and coated warehouse floors.
Q: Does RA 631-031-002-A come as a complete assembly or separate components?
A: RA 631-031-002-A ships as a complete integrated assembly with bearings pre-installed in the cast iron hub. The tread is bonded to the core and the bearing configuration is fixed, simplifying fitment and reducing compatibility risks.
