BEARING assembly (SINGLE SHIELD)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does single shield mean on the ST000018 bearing assembly?
A: Single shield means the ST000018 bearing has one steel shield on one side, protecting the ball races on that side only. The other side is open, allowing grease access and making it suitable for applications where regular lubrication is required.
Q: Which manual pallet jack models use the ST000018 bearing assembly?
A: The ST000018 fits manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Clark, and Mitsubishi. Verify the bore diameter and load wheel matching your equipment before ordering.
Q: How often should the ST000018 bearing be greased during operation?
A: Bearing life depends on operating conditions and load. With regular grease application through accessible fittings, the ST000018 typically performs for 12 to 24 months in normal warehouse service. Increased loads or outdoor use may reduce lifespan.
Q: Can the ST000018 be used in wet or outdoor conditions?
A: The ST000018 single-shield design allows water exposure to the unshielded side. For wet or cold storage environments, use a fully sealed bearing or apply waterproof grease regularly. Moisture exposure will shorten bearing life without proper maintenance.
