Bearing Sleeve – RA1050090-002

Sleeve bearings in a Raymond lift truck's lift linkage carry the pivot loads that build every time the mast or reach mechanism moves, and this bearing sleeve gives one of those pivots a replaceable, low-friction surface. The sleeve is a plain bearing that presses into a bore and rides against a shaft or pin, taking the wear itself so the linkage and its housing stay intact.

Cataloged as the Raymond 1050090/002, it belongs to the lift linkage group, where play from a worn bushing translates into sloppy, imprecise movement and accelerated wear on the parts around it. Replacing a worn sleeve tightens the pivot back up and restores the clean action the linkage had when it was new. Because a sleeve bearing only works pressed into the right bore, match the inside diameter, outside diameter, and length to the sleeve coming off the Raymond truck before pressing the new one in.
