Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions of the BS 6306 2RS bearing?
A: The BS 6306 2RS has an outer diameter of 2.834 inches (72 mm), an inner diameter of 1.181 inches (30 mm), and a width of 0.748 inches (19 mm). These dimensions must match your equipment specifications for proper fit and load distribution.
Q: What does the 2RS seal designation provide?
A: The 2RS designation means the bearing has two rubber seals (one on each side) that make light contact with the inner race. These seals retain grease more effectively than shields and provide better protection against moisture and contamination, making this bearing suitable for wet floor and cold storage environments common in material handling.
Q: What is the difference between the BS 6306 2RS and BS 6306 ZZ?
A: The BS 6306 2RS has rubber seals that contact the inner race and offer superior water and contaminant exclusion. The BS 6306 ZZ has non-contact steel shields and is better for dry, clean conditions. Choose 2RS for wet floors or environments exposed to moisture; choose ZZ for dry warehouse applications where lower friction is preferred.
Q: Which pallet jack brands and models use the BS 6306 2RS bearing?
A: The BS 6306 2RS is compatible with manual and electric pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, and other major OEMs. Verify your equipment model and serial number to confirm compatibility, as bearing sizing varies by manufacturer and year.
Q: How does the 2RS bearing perform compared to standard shields in cold storage?
A: The 2RS seals retain grease better in freezing environments and provide superior protection against moisture that accumulates during temperature cycling. In cold storage below 0 degrees Fahrenheit, the 2RS configuration typically outperforms shields by maintaining adequate lubrication and preventing rust formation on internal surfaces.
