A: The BG 025-501 push buttons are operator control input devices used for functions such as lift/lower commands, travel direction control, or auxiliary system activation on electric pallet jacks and lift trucks. They transmit electrical signals to the control system when pressed.
Q: What equipment models use the BG 025-501 push buttons?
A: The BG 025-501 is compatible with electric material handling equipment from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and similar OEM manufacturers. Verify the voltage rating, contact configuration, and panel mounting dimensions against your equipment schematic before ordering.
Q: What are the electrical specifications for the BG 025-501 push buttons?
A: Confirm voltage rating (typically 12V or 24V DC for electric lift trucks), contact amperage capacity, and switching type (momentary or maintained) from your equipment manual. Mismatched voltage or contact rating will cause improper operation or premature contact failure.
Q: What symptoms indicate the BG 025-501 push buttons are failing?
A: Common failure symptoms include intermittent operation or no response to button press, sluggish or delayed control response, stuck buttons that do not return to rest position, or crackling/arcing sounds when pressed. Any of these indicate internal contact degradation or mechanical jamming.
