BEARING assembly (SINGLE SHIELD)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is included in W012650 bearing assembly?
A: W012650 is a complete bearing assembly with a single shield design. It includes the bearing, its inner and outer races, rolling elements, and a single metal shield on one side. The shield protects against light contamination while allowing grease retention.
Q: Which manual pallet jack models use W012650 bearing assembly?
A: W012650 fits manual pallet jack models from Crown, Yale, Raymond, and other OEMs. Verify the bearing bore diameter, outside diameter, and width specification match your equipment before ordering.
Q: What is the difference between single shield and double shield bearings?
A: W012650 has a single shield on one side. Single shield designs provide better speed performance and lower friction than double shield versions, but offer less contamination protection. Choose single shield when speed is important and the environment is relatively clean.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of W012650 bearing assembly?
A: W012650 bearing assembly lifespan depends on load, speed, lubrication, and contamination. With proper maintenance and dry operating conditions, expect 3 to 5 years before replacement becomes necessary. Replace if you hear grinding noise or detect excess heat.
Q: How is W012650 bearing assembly lubricated and maintained?
A: W012650 bearing assembly is typically grease-lubricated. Relubricate per your manual pallet jack maintenance schedule, usually every 500 to 1000 operating hours. Use multipurpose NLGI Grade 2 grease compatible with bearing materials.
Q: What symptoms indicate W012650 bearing assembly needs replacement?
A: Replace W012650 if you detect grinding or squealing noise when the load wheel rotates, if the wheel exhibits excessive radial play, if the assembly is hot to touch, or if grease is leaking from the bearing cavity.
