Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What control functions does the BG 025-535 switch provide on electric lift trucks?
A: The BG 025-535 is an electrical switch used for control circuit operations such as load sensing, tilt activation, or travel direction switching on electric pallet jacks and lift trucks. It responds to mechanical or electrical inputs and controls power flow to downstream systems.
Q: Which equipment types is the BG 025-535 compatible with?
A: The BG 025-535 is used on electric material handling equipment from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and similar OEM manufacturers. Verify the voltage class, pole/throw configuration, and mounting style against your equipment control schematic before ordering.
Q: What are the electrical specifications for the BG 025-535 switch?
A: Critical specifications include voltage rating (typically 12V or 24V DC), amperage capacity, pole configuration (single or double pole), throw type (single or double throw), and contact material. Confirm all specifications from your equipment manual to ensure proper control circuit operation.
Q: What symptoms indicate the BG 025-535 switch is failing?
A: Failure symptoms include loss of control function, intermittent or erratic operation, audible clicking or arcing from the switch housing, or visible corrosion on the terminals. Any of these indicate contact degradation or internal mechanical failure requiring replacement.
Q: What materials are used in the BG 025-535 switch construction?
A: The BG 025-535 features a plastic or polyurethane housing with internal silver-alloy electrical contacts and a stainless steel or brass terminal block. The contacts are rated for the specified voltage and amperage, and the housing is sealed to resist moisture and dust infiltration.
Q: How long does the BG 025-535 switch remain reliable in service?
A: Under normal warehouse operation, expect 5 to 10 years of reliable service depending on switching frequency and environmental exposure to moisture or corrosive substances. Electrical switches with high cycle counts or exposure to moisture may fail sooner. Inspect annually for signs of corrosion or mechanical wear.
