Raymond Bearing Set – RA447-588

Raymond builds this bearing set for its lift truck line, a matched pair of bearings supplied together and sized to a compact footprint of roughly 1.15 inches square by 2.5 inches, weighing about three quarters of a pound. Supplying the bearings as a set means the mating components are replaced together, which keeps a rebuilt assembly running on parts of equal wear rather than pairing a fresh bearing against a tired one.

Bearings carry a rotating shaft or wheel against its housing, and once they develop play, roughness, or noise, the looseness spreads to everything the shaft drives. Replacing the set at the first sign of wear restores smooth rotation before the slop damages the surrounding parts. Because bearings of a shared outside dimension can differ in bore, seal type, and internal series, match the bore diameter and bearing series of this set to the shafts it rides on so the fit is correct and the seals suit the application. Forklifts Etc. offers the set as a Raymond replacement for the equipment it was cataloged to serve.
