Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the AL 2180-325 and what does it do in a lift truck contactor?
A: The AL 2180-325 is a double bar contact assembly designed for power circuit applications in electric lift truck contactors. The dual bar design allows simultaneous switching of high-current power paths within a single contactor unit.
Q: Which Albright contactor series are compatible with the AL 2180-325?
A: The AL 2180-325 is compatible with Albright SW, SC, and ED contactor series. Verify your contactor series designation on the label before ordering to confirm fitment.
Q: What material construction does the AL 2180-325 use?
A: The AL 2180-325 is constructed from copper alloy bars with precision machined contact surfaces. This material provides high electrical conductivity and a smooth surface finish that minimizes contact resistance and arcing.
Q: Why are the contact surfaces precision machined on the AL 2180-325?
A: Precision machining ensures flat, parallel contact surfaces that mate uniformly with the stationary contacts in the contactor. Uniform contact pressure reduces hot spots, arcing, and accelerated wear during high-current operation.
Q: What is the current rating or voltage specification for the AL 2180-325?
A: The AL 2180-325 is a mechanical assembly without built-in current or voltage ratings. Its electrical capacity depends on the contactor model and overall system design. Consult Albright technical documentation or contact our support team for the rated capacity of your specific contactor configuration.
Q: Does the AL 2180-325 come with a protective coating?
A: No, the AL 2180-325 is finished with a machined finish and no additional coating. The copper alloy material naturally resists oxidation during normal service, but store the part in a dry environment before installation.
