Mast Guide Bearings

Mast Guide Bearings act as guide roller for the telescopic mast in forklifts and similar heavy machinery. We can supply Mast Guide Bearings for nearly every brand of forklift or mast lift truck.

The bores of mast guide bearings are fitted, as with any standard industrial bearing. Unlike typical industrial bearings however, the outer diameter of a mast guide bearing acts directly against a steel mast rail.Depending upon the design of the mast and fork carriage assembly,mast guide bearings can be subject to very high radial and thrust loads,as well as high intermittent shock loads.

Mast guide bearings are intended for low speed, high load applications.Tight seals and high fill grease (typically >90%) are used to ensure minimal wear and tear and the longest possible lifespan for your components. Resulting in minimal down time for your machinery.The internal design (ball and roller complements) maximizes the load capacity.
