Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CL 893682 brush spring set used for?
A: The CL 893682 is a brush spring set used in the DC motor of Clark electric lift trucks. The springs maintain proper contact pressure between the carbon motor brushes and the commutator, ensuring consistent electrical conductivity and motor performance. Springs wear over time and require periodic replacement.
Q: How do I know when to replace the CL 893682 brush spring set?
A: Replace the brush spring set when you observe reduced motor power, hesitation or surging during acceleration, visible arcing or sparking at the motor brush area, or increased motor noise. If brush springs lose tension, they cannot maintain proper electrical contact and motor performance degrades significantly.
Q: Which Clark electric lift truck motors use the CL 893682?
A: The CL 893682 brush spring set is compatible with Clark electric truck DC motors across multiple models and production years. Motor specifications vary by truck model, horsepower rating, and year. Verify your equipment specifications before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
Q: What is the material composition of the brush springs?
A: Brush spring sets in industrial material handling motors are typically manufactured from stainless steel or spring steel to resist corrosion and maintain spring tension under repeated stress. The specific alloy composition depends on the original equipment specification. Contact us with your motor model for material details.
Q: How long does a brush spring set typically last?
A: Brush spring set lifespan varies with duty cycle, operating temperature, and electrical load. Heavy-use warehouse trucks may require spring replacement every 2-4 years, while lighter-use equipment can go 5-7 years between replacements. Regular motor inspections help identify when spring tension diminishes and replacement is needed.
Q: Can I replace only the springs or must I replace other motor components?
A: The CL 893682 is supplied as a brush spring set. When springs wear, carbon brushes should also be inspected for wear. If brushes are worn below minimum thickness specifications, they must be replaced at the same time as the springs to restore proper motor performance.
