Raymond Load Wheel Bearing 441-015 – RA441-015/FLT

Carrying a load wheel on its shaft and letting it roll under load, this Raymond load wheel bearing is the ball bearing at the wheel position on a Raymond lift truck. Raymond catalogs it as part number 441-015. It supports the wheel and takes the rolling load the wheel carries as the truck moves across the floor with weight on the forks.

A load wheel bearing wears at its races and balls, and contamination past the seals or simple fatigue leads to play, roughness, and noise. Left in service, a failing bearing drags on the wheel, runs hot, and can eventually seize, which stops the wheel and can flat-spot or damage it. Catching the noise or roughness early and replacing the bearing restores free, quiet wheel rotation.

Match the bore, the outer diameter, and the width to the bearing being replaced, and confirm the seal type, since load wheel bearings of similar size differ in sealing and internal fit. Forklifts Etc. supplies it as the Raymond load wheel bearing, a direct replacement for the worn original.
