Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CL 912368 armature used for in electric lift trucks?
A: The CL 912368 is an armature assembly for the main traction motor or auxiliary pump motor in Clark electric lift trucks. It converts electrical current into mechanical rotation. Failure results in loss of lift or drive power.
Q: How do I know if the armature is failing?
A: Failure symptoms include loss of power despite battery voltage present, motor does not spin when commanded, burned smell from motor housing, or visible commutator scoring and pitting. Test armature resistance and insulation with a meter before replacement.
Q: Is the CL 912368 armature compatible with other Clark models?
A: Compatibility depends on motor frame size and shaft configuration. Verify motor model and serial range against Clark parts documentation. Dimension mismatch will prevent proper assembly. Do not assume compatibility across different Clark generations.
Q: What material is the armature core made from?
A: The CL 912368 core is laminated steel to reduce eddy current losses. Windings are copper wire, insulated and wound on the laminated core. This construction is standard for DC motor armatures rated for heavy industrial duty.
Q: Are there OEM equivalent part numbers for the CL 912368?
A: No supersessions or cross-references are published in Clark distributor catalogs. Order CL 912368 as specified. Confirm exact motor frame size and shaft diameter against your equipment schematic before ordering.
