Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the RA 1061151 and what function does it serve on a reach truck?
A: The RA 1061151 is a precision bearing encoder assembly designed for Raymond 7400, 7420, and 7440 electric reach trucks. It provides mast position feedback to the truck control system, enabling accurate height measurement and load positioning. This component is critical for safe and accurate load placement.
Q: What materials are used in the RA 1061151 bearing encoder?
A: The RA 1061151 features hardened bearing steel for the raceways and rolling elements, ensuring durability under continuous vertical mast movement. The encoder housing is molded from high-impact polymer with an integrated seal for protected operation. This combination provides mechanical strength and environmental sealing.
Q: Is the RA 1061151 compatible with both standard and high-reach mast configurations?
A: Yes. The RA 1061151 is engineered for both standard and high-reach mast configurations on Raymond 7400, 7420, and 7440 reach trucks. The bearing and encoder assembly accommodates the full range of vertical travel in both mast types. Verify your mast configuration in your truck documentation to confirm compatibility.
Q: What is the design life and maintenance requirement for the RA 1061151?
A: The RA 1061151 is rated for intermittent duty service typical of reach truck operations. It is sealed-for-life, requiring no routine lubrication or maintenance. Design life depends on operating hours and environment. In standard warehouse service with normal mast cycling, expect 5 to 7 years of functional life before bearing wear or encoder drift requires replacement.
Q: What mounting interface does the RA 1061151 use?
A: The RA 1061151 features a direct mounting interface with integrated flange support on the mast structure. It provides structural rigidity and ensures proper encoder positioning relative to mast movement. Consult the Raymond service manual for your specific model to confirm mounting specifications.
Q: What symptoms indicate a failing bearing encoder on a Raymond reach truck?
A: Common signs of encoder failure include height display errors or intermittent blank readings on the truck console, uneven mast lowering, or load control drift over time. If the truck cannot maintain stable load height or the mast position indicator shows inconsistent readings, the RA 1061151 bearing encoder may be failing and require replacement.
