Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the RL 3-70000 thrust bearing and where is it used?
A: The RL 3-70000 is a precision thrust bearing installed in the pump assembly of Rol-Lift Series T and Series E manual pallet jacks. It supports axial loads and maintains proper rotation alignment between the pump plunger and cylinder during hydraulic operation.
Q: Which Rol-Lift pallet jack models does the RL 3-70000 bearing fit?
A: The RL 3-70000 is engineered for Rol-Lift Series T and Series E manual pallet jacks. Alternate designations include 3-70000 and RL3-70000. Verify your jack series before ordering.
Q: What material is the RL 3-70000 thrust bearing made from?
A: The bearing contains hardened steel races and precision ball or roller elements designed for high-cycle operation. The bearing is precision-manufactured to maintain tight tolerances required for correct pump function.
Q: How long does the RL 3-70000 thrust bearing typically last?
A: Bearing lifespan varies based on load, usage frequency, and hydraulic fluid condition. Well-maintained jacks may achieve 3000 to 5000 operating hours before bearing wear becomes evident. Replace immediately if grinding sounds or excessive play develop.
Q: What are signs that the RL 3-70000 bearing needs replacement?
A: Replace the bearing if you hear grinding or noise from the pump assembly, notice jerky or stalling pump action, or if the pump becomes completely unresponsive. A failing thrust bearing will prevent the pump from cycling properly and can damage surrounding components if not replaced promptly.
Q: What maintenance can extend the life of the RL 3-70000 thrust bearing?
A: Keep hydraulic fluid clean and at the correct level to minimize bearing stress. Follow recommended maintenance schedules and replace hydraulic seals to prevent contamination. Avoid overloading the jack beyond its rated capacity.
