Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CL 6517648 brush spring set used for?
A: The CL 6517648 brush spring set is an OEM component for Clark electric lift truck motors. The springs maintain consistent pressure on motor brushes against the commutator, ensuring proper electrical contact and current delivery for motor operation.
Q: How do brush springs affect motor performance?
A: Brush springs on the CL 6517648 maintain constant force on carbon or graphite brushes throughout their wear cycle. Worn or weak springs reduce brush contact pressure, causing sparking, reduced power output, inconsistent performance, and accelerated brush wear. The CL 6517648 ensures proper motor function when installed correctly.
Q: How long do brush springs typically last?
A: Brush spring lifespan depends on motor usage intensity, electrical load, and operating environment. Springs typically last 500 to 1500 operating hours before losing tension. Inspect springs during brush replacement. If springs appear permanently deformed or lack normal tension, replace with the CL 6517648 OEM set.
Q: Is the CL 6517648 a complete brush spring set or individual components?
A: The CL 6517648 is an OEM brush spring set containing all springs required for your Clark lift truck motor. Verify the exact motor type and spring quantity needed before ordering. Using only partial sets can result in unbalanced motor operation and accelerated failure.
Q: What symptoms indicate brush springs need replacement?
A: Signs of failing CL 6517648 springs include visible motor sparking, reduced lift or drive speed, chattering or vibration during motor operation, and premature brush wear. If springs appear bent, permanently deformed, or do not return to original length when released, replacement with the CL 6517648 OEM set is required.
