Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the RA 444-326 bearing and which equipment does it fit?
A: The RA 444-326 is a Raymond OEM thrust bearing engineered for supporting axial loads in electric lift trucks. It is designed specifically for Raymond Model 7400 electric pallet jacks and fits the 7400 Reach Truck Idler Wheel Assembly. The hardened steel construction provides reliable axial stability in professional industrial applications.
Q: What is the construction grade and material specification for the RA 444-326?
A: The RA 444-326 is constructed from hardened steel engineered for professional industrial duty. Thrust bearing design handles axial (push-pull) loads that occur in electric pallet jack idler wheel assemblies during forward and backward movement cycles.
Q: What are the alternate part number formats for the RA 444-326?
A: The RA 444-326 may be cross-referenced as RA444-326, RA444326 (no hyphens), or 444-326 (OEM part number). Confirm compatibility by matching the OEM part number 444-326 with your Raymond Model 7400 documentation before ordering.
Q: How does the RA 444-326 bearing function in the idler wheel assembly?
A: The thrust bearing supports axial loads generated when the idler wheel is pulled or pushed during lift truck steering and movement. Hardened steel construction resists the directional stresses that axial loads create, ensuring smooth steering geometry and extended wheel assembly life.
Q: What is the service life expectancy for the RA 444-326 bearing in electric pallet jack service?
A: Professional industrial duty construction provides extended service life under typical Raymond 7400 electric pallet jack operation. Bearing life depends on load cycles, steering frequency, and maintenance. Listen for grinding noise or observe side-to-side wheel play to determine if replacement is needed.
