WHEEL CYLINDER
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the 44100-L1400 wheel cylinder do?
A: The 44100-L1400 wheel cylinder is a hydraulic brake actuator that translates hydraulic pressure into linear mechanical motion to engage brake pads or shoes on electric lift trucks. It is a critical component in the secondary brake circuit.
Q: Which lift truck models are compatible with the 44100-L1400?
A: The 44100-L1400 is engineered for specific electric lift truck models from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, CAT, and BT. Confirm your truck model, serial number, and axle configuration against technical specifications before ordering.
Q: What are the dimensional specifications for the 44100-L1400?
A: The 44100-L1400 has specific bore diameter, stroke length, mounting hole patterns, and port thread sizes. These dimensions are engineered for specific brake system architectures. Verify all specifications match your equipment brake schematic to ensure proper fit and brake function.
Q: What construction materials are used in the 44100-L1400?
A: The 44100-L1400 is manufactured with heavy-duty cast iron or aluminum construction featuring precision-honed cylinder bores and polyurethane or nitrile seals rated for hydraulic brake fluid. The sealed structure prevents fluid loss and contamination.
Q: When should the 44100-L1400 be replaced?
A: Replace the cylinder if brake fluid seeps from the housing, brake response becomes inconsistent or weak, the piston sticks or moves with excessive friction, or if internal seal degradation is suspected. Regular brake system inspection is essential for equipment safety and compliance.
Q: How does the 44100-L1400 differ from other wheel cylinders?
A: The 44100-L1400 is dimensionally and functionally specific to certain lift truck models and brake system designs. It is not interchangeable with other SKUs like 44100-11H01 or 44100-FJ500. Always verify the correct SKU for your equipment to avoid installation failures and safety issues.
