Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What bearing types are compatible with the GW 212 axle?
A: The GW 212 accepts 6204 or 6200 series deep groove ball bearings. Both are standard industrial bearings with a 0.625 inch inner diameter. Always verify bearing size before installation to avoid press-fit issues. If your load wheel assembly currently uses a different bearing series, you will need to source the correct 6204 or 6200 bearing.
Q: What wheel widths does the GW 212 support?
A: The GW 212 is designed for wheels ranging from 2.75 to 3.25 inches wide. Wheels outside this range will not fit properly on the axle. Always measure your existing wheel width before ordering to ensure fitment. Wheels narrower than 2.75 inches may slide inward; wheels wider than 3.25 inches cannot be mounted.
Q: Is the GW 212 a direct replacement for other manufacturers load wheel axles?
A: No direct cross-reference part numbers are available for the GW 212. It is designed for compatibility with standard pallet jack load wheel assemblies that have a 0.625 inch bore. To confirm compatibility with your specific jack model, verify the bore diameter and wheel width against the 0.625 inch diameter and 2.75 to 3.25 inch width specifications.
Q: What surface finish does the GW 212 have and how should it be maintained?
A: The GW 212 features a machined finish with oil coating. The case-hardened carbon steel construction has a minimum Rockwell hardness of C35. To maintain performance, periodically wipe away dirt and moisture, and reapply light machine oil to the shaft surface. Do not use the axle if rust or pitting is visible, as this indicates loss of case hardening.
Q: Can the GW 212 be used in high-temperature or corrosive environments?
A: The GW 212 is designed for standard indoor warehouse and dock use. The oil coating provides rust protection for normal conditions but is not rated for exposure to salt spray, high humidity, or temperatures above 150 degrees Fahrenheit. If your environment is corrosive or extreme, contact technical support for suitable alternatives.
