Crown Bearing – CR65146

Crown supplies this bearing, part number 65146, for the rotating assemblies in its lift trucks, where it carries load and locates a shaft while letting it turn with minimal drag. It measures about 2.90 inches across and roughly 1.2 inches thick, and at 1.75 pounds it is a solid mid-size bearing rather than a light instrument-grade unit.

A bearing in a lift truck assembly takes both the weight it supports and the shock of a machine that starts, stops, and reverses under load all day. As the races and rolling elements wear, the bearing develops play, roughness, or noise, the signal that it has reached the end of its service life and is due for replacement before the play spreads to the parts it supports.

Because bore fit, bearing series, and seal arrangement vary even among bearings of a shared outer diameter, match the bore and the series to the shaft and housing this one comes out of, since a press-fit bearing has to seat correctly on its shaft and in its bore to run true. Carried under Crown's 65146 number, it drops into the position the original held.
