Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What coil voltage does the AL SW180-326L contactor operate at?
A: The AL SW180-326L is a 24VDC contactor designed specifically for electric lift trucks requiring 24-volt coil operation. It is not field-convertible to other coil voltages.
Q: What is the maximum contact voltage this contactor can handle?
A: The AL SW180-326L supports up to 96V DC when equipped with blowouts, and up to 60V DC without blowouts. Verify your truck voltage before ordering to ensure compatibility.
Q: Is the AL SW180-326L compatible with contactors from other brands?
A: This is an Albright SW180 series contactor with manufacturer part number ALSW180-326L. Cross-compatibility depends on your specific lift truck model and mounting configuration. Confirm terminal types and coil voltage match your equipment.
Q: How many operating cycles does the AL SW180-326L last?
A: The AL SW180-326L is rated for mechanical durability exceeding 5 million cycles under normal operating conditions. Actual lifespan depends on load type, switching frequency, and maintenance.
Q: What maintenance is required for the AL SW180-326L?
A: Contactors require periodic inspection for corrosion on terminals and contact wear. Keep terminals clean and dry. Contact degradation accelerates with heavy switching loads or poor electrical connections, so verify terminal torque specifications before operation.
