Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the RA 623-010-297 axle and where is it used?
A: The RA 623-010-297 is an OEM wheel axle engineered for steer assemblies in Raymond electric pallet trucks. It is constructed from SAE 1045 carbon steel with a machined finish that ensures precise bearing fit and operational durability.
Q: What are the key specifications of the RA 623-010-297?
A: This axle features a 1 inch nominal diameter, is manufactured from SAE 1045 carbon steel, and has a machined finish per OEM specifications. It is designed to support roller bearings used in steer wheel installations.
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the RA 623-010-297?
A: This part supersedes older part number 370224. The OEM reference designation is JU. The manufacturer part number is RA 623-010-297. Cross-reference these when searching for equivalent stock or documentation.
Q: Why is the machined finish important on this axle?
A: The machined finish ensures tight, precise tolerances for the roller bearing fit. This maintains accurate wheel alignment and reduces play in the steer system, which is critical for vehicle tracking and handling.
Q: How do I confirm the RA 623-010-297 fits my Raymond truck?
A: Verify the equipment serial number against Raymond specification documentation to confirm the axle is approved for your model. Confirm the application is for steer wheel assemblies, as this part is specifically designed for steer use, not drive wheels.
Q: What material composition makes this axle durable?
A: SAE 1045 carbon steel provides strong tensile strength and fatigue resistance necessary for repeated steer wheel loading cycles. The machined finish prevents corrosion and maintains dimensional stability for consistent bearing performance.
