Bearing Assembly - Single Shield

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the NT6206Z single-shield design and double-sealed bearings?
A: The NT6206Z has a single shield (metal cover) on one side of the raceway, providing protection from large debris while allowing partial aerosol lubrication migration. This design offers less contamination protection than double-sealed bearings but may provide slightly better heat dissipation in high-duty applications.

Q: Which manual pallet jack models use the NT6206Z bearing?
A: The NT6206Z is a load wheel bearing replacement compatible with manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, CAT, and BT. Verify the bearing bore, outer diameter, and width dimensions match your specific equipment before ordering.

Q: Is the NT6206Z suitable for wet floor or cold storage environments?
A: The NT6206Z single-shield design provides moderate protection against moisture and debris. It is suitable for typical warehouse environments but may not be ideal for heavy wet floor or cold storage use. In these conditions, double-sealed bearings like the NT6206LLU offer superior protection and longer service life.

Q: What maintenance is required for the NT6206Z bearing?
A: The NT6206Z requires periodic visual inspection for noise, rolling resistance, and seal condition. The single-shield design allows for aerosol-based lubrication in some applications, but consult your equipment manufacturer before applying lubricant. Replace the bearing when performance degrades or when internal play becomes excessive.
