Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CL 998642 brush set used for?
A: CL 998642 is a carbon brush set for direct-current (DC) electric motors found in lift trucks. Brushes deliver electrical current to the commutator, enabling the motor to generate rotational force for lift and drive functions.
Q: Which electric lift truck models use CL 998642 brushes?
A: CL 998642 brushes fit multiple Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale electric pallet jacks and forklifts from the 1990s through 2010s. Verify your motor type and brush holder dimensions before ordering.
Q: What material are CL 998642 brushes made from?
A: These brushes are manufactured from compressed carbon or graphite composite with copper wire leads. The compound is designed to provide low electrical resistance, reduce commutator wear, and withstand high current loads in material handling motors.
Q: What symptoms indicate CL 998642 brushes need replacement?
A: Worn brushes cause reduced motor power, hesitant acceleration, sparking visible from motor vents, or audible arcing at the commutator. If brushes are worn to one-quarter inch or less, they must be replaced to prevent motor damage.
Q: How often should CL 998642 brushes be replaced?
A: Brush life typically ranges from 2 to 4 years depending on duty cycle and motor load. Heavy-use equipment may require brushes annually. Check brush length regularly; replace the set when wear becomes uneven or visible.
