Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions and material specification for the RA 570-268-515 brush set?
A: The RA 570-268-515 is a set of 4 carbon-graphite composite brushes with dimensions of 0.485 × 1.255 × 1.150 inch per brush. The brushes are engineered to the Raymond OEM carbon-graphite formulation and are designed specifically for electric motor applications in lift trucks to meet original mechanical, dimensional, and material specifications.
Q: Which Raymond electric lift truck models does the RA 570-268-515 brush set fit?
A: The RA 570-268-515 is designed for Raymond electric lift trucks equipped with DC traction, lift, or hydraulic motors that originally used this OEM brush configuration. Verify your equipment motor specifications and brush holder assembly type before ordering to confirm compatibility.
Q: What part numbers does the RA 570-268-515 supersede or cross-reference?
A: The RA 570-268-515 supersedes RA 570-316-516 and is equivalent to RA 570-334-512 and RA 570-360-511. Verify that the superseded part number matches your equipment documentation before substituting.
Q: What material construction makes the RA 570-268-515 suitable for continuous-duty industrial use?
A: The RA 570-268-515 brushes are made from high-grade carbon-graphite composite material with braided copper shunts and precision-ground contact surfaces. This construction provides reliable electrical performance, low wear rates, and compatibility with OEM brush holder assemblies in continuous-duty lift truck service.
Q: How do I know when the RA 570-268-515 brushes need replacement?
A: Carbon-graphite brushes degrade gradually with use. If you observe reduced motor performance, arcing at the brush holder, excessive sparking, or uneven brush wear patterns, replacement may be needed. Regular inspection during motor maintenance will help identify when brushes are approaching end-of-life. The exact service life depends on motor duty cycle and load conditions.
