Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 5059635-00 wheel cylinder and what equipment does it fit?
A: The 5059635-00 is a wheel cylinder for electric lift trucks and hydraulic brake systems. It converts hydraulic pressure into mechanical force to activate wheel brakes. Verify your lift truck model and brake system type before ordering to ensure proper fit.
Q: What is the bore size and mounting configuration of the 5059635-00?
A: Specific bore diameter and mounting dimensions for the 5059635-00 vary by application. Confirm your equipment specifications, including brake line port size and bolt hole pattern, before ordering. Contact our parts team with your lift truck model for exact dimensions.
Q: What materials are used in the 5059635-00 wheel cylinder?
A: Wheel cylinders typically feature cast iron or aluminum housings with precision-machined bore surfaces. Internal components include polyurethane or nitrile seals designed to withstand hydraulic pressure and resist fluid degradation.
Q: How do I diagnose if the 5059635-00 wheel cylinder has failed?
A: Signs of wheel cylinder failure include brake fluid leaks around the wheel, soft or spongy brake pedal, or uneven braking pressure. Inspect for visible fluid seepage and test brake response at each wheel. Replace if leaking fluid or pressure loss is detected.
Q: What is the typical service life of the 5059635-00?
A: Wheel cylinder lifespan typically ranges from 3 to 5 years depending on usage intensity and maintenance. Regular brake fluid changes, keeping seals dry, and avoiding moisture contamination extend service life. Replace immediately if internal seals fail.
Q: Is the 5059635-00 compatible with different brake fluid types?
A: The 5059635-00 is designed for DOT-approved hydraulic brake fluid. Confirm your lift truck uses the correct fluid type; mixing fluid types can damage seals. Always use the same fluid specification your equipment manufacturer recommends.
