RA 570-252-517

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many brushes are in the RA 570-252-517 set and what are their dimensions?
A: The RA 570-252-517 is a four-piece brush set. Each brush has precision dimensions of 5/8 inch width by 1-1/4 inch length by 1-5/16 inch height. Verify these dimensions match your motor brush holder before ordering to ensure proper fit.

Q: What material composition do RA 570-252-517 brushes use?
A: These brushes are constructed from natural graphite composition. Natural graphite provides good electrical conductivity and wear resistance in electric lift truck drive motors. The material is rated at Brinell hardness 60 for the graphite formulation.

Q: Which Raymond electric lift truck motor applications use RA 570-252-517 brushes?
A: The RA 570-252-517 is designed for Raymond OEM electric lift truck drive motors. This brush set is intended for direct replacement in select Raymond lift models. Confirm your motor type and model number to verify compatibility with this part.

Q: What is the difference between RA 570-252-517 and RA 570-240-229 brushes?
A: The RA 570-252-517 uses natural graphite composition with Brinell hardness 60 and precision dimensions of 5/8 by 1-1/4 by 1-5/16 inches. The RA 570-240-229 uses high-conductivity carbon composite material. They are designed for different motor types. Use only the brush set specified for your motor model.

Q: How often should RA 570-252-517 brushes be replaced?
A: Brush replacement interval depends on duty cycle and motor runtime. Monitor motor performance for reduced power, audible sparking, or noise. Graphite brushes wear gradually. If your lift truck exhibits sluggish performance or increased arcing at the brushes, replacement is likely necessary.
