Crown Load Wheel Ball Bearing 6212 – BR-237

A 60 mm bore, 110 mm outer diameter, and 22 mm width put this open deep groove ball bearing at the industry-standard 6212 size, cataloged for Crown load wheel positions. The 6212 is a common load wheel bearing designation across the material handling industry, so it interchanges with same-size 6212 bearings used in load wheel assemblies on many lift truck fleets.

The open design carries no shields or seals over the ball race, which suits it to load wheel hubs that shield the bearing from contamination and lets a technician inspect and relubricate it directly. At about 1.67 pounds, its solid steel construction reflects the radial load a forklift load wheel drives through the bearing race on every lift and travel cycle.

As the race and balls roughen from repeated load cycling, a worn load wheel bearing feels rough or notchy when the wheel is spun by hand, adds rolling resistance, or grinds during travel. Replacing it before it seizes protects the wheel hub and axle from the extra wear a binding bearing causes. Match the bore, outer diameter, and width to the wheel, since a 6212 seats only in a hub cut for that size.
