Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is part number 218277?
A: Part number 218277 is an electrical contact kit designed for electric lift truck control systems. It replaces worn or corroded contacts in solenoids, relays, contactors, or control stations to restore reliable electrical circuit operation and prevent intermittent control failures.
Q: What components does part number 218277 include?
A: Part number 218277 is a complete kit containing replacement electrical contacts made of silver alloy or copper-nickel, contact springs, insulating materials, and fastening hardware. The contact material and thickness ensure proper conductivity at the equipment voltage and amperage rating.
Q: How do I know if part number 218277 needs to be replaced?
A: Indicators that part number 218277 contact replacement is needed include intermittent power loss, erratic lift or lower operation, solenoid chattering or buzzing, sluggish motor response, or complete loss of control function. Corroded or pitted contacts visible in the solenoid body also indicate replacement is needed.
Q: How often should part number 218277 be replaced?
A: Contact kits typically last 3 to 5 years depending on environment humidity, switching frequency, and electrical load. Wet or corrosive environments accelerate contact oxidation. Replace during preventive maintenance or immediately if performance degrades.
