Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the resistance specification for the BR 27140-002 potentiometer?
A: The BR 27140-002 is a 5K Ohm potentiometer. This resistance value is designed for throttle and position control circuits in electric lift trucks. Verify your equipment specification before ordering to ensure this resistance matches your system requirements.
Q: Which electric lift truck models does the BR 27140-002 potentiometer fit?
A: The BR 27140-002 is compatible with Barrett electric pallet jacks and related electric lift truck models using 5K Ohm potentiometer controls. Check your equipment model and control circuit documentation to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Q: What happens if the wrong potentiometer resistance is installed?
A: Installing a potentiometer with incorrect resistance will cause throttle response to operate outside designed parameters, resulting in erratic speed control, inability to reach full lifting speed, or complete loss of throttle function. Always verify the ohm rating matches your equipment specifications.
Q: How long does a potentiometer typically last in service?
A: Potentiometer lifespan depends on usage frequency and operating conditions. Heavy daily use accelerates wear on the internal resistive element. Replacement is indicated by intermittent throttle response, grinding noises from the control lever, or complete loss of throttle control.
