Bearing Set – RA447-591-100

Inside the drive and transmission assembly of a Raymond lift truck, this bearing set carries the rotating shafts that transmit power to the wheels, taking both the radial and the thrust loads a turning shaft imposes on its housing. By holding the shaft centered and true, the bearings keep the gears and mating components in proper alignment, which is what lets the driveline run smoothly instead of binding or chattering.

Supplying the bearings as a matched set matters because the mating positions wear at similar rates, and replacing them together keeps load sharing even across the assembly rather than leaving a fresh bearing working against a tired one. That is how you preserve smooth rotation and avoid a repeat teardown a few hundred hours later.

Match the bore, outside diameter, width, and seal or shield type of each bearing to the parts coming out, since bearings that share a bore can still differ in series, internal clearance, and load rating, and those differences are what make the set a true match rather than a close one.
