Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which makes and models is the AL SW180B-36 compatible with?
A: The AL SW180B-36 is compatible with Albright, Toyota, Crown, Hyster, Raymond, Nichiyu, JCB, and Jungheinrich electric lift trucks. It fits models such as 8HBE30, 8HBE40, 8HBC30, 8HBW30, 8FBE25, 8FBE30, 8FBE35, 8FBE40, FB10P, FB14P, FB15P, FB18P, CG25D, CG30D, CG35D, R40XM45, and R50XM45.
Q: What materials are used to ensure durability?
A: The AL SW180B-36 is constructed with durable materials designed for long-term use in demanding environments. Its contacts are made from silver alloy, which enhances conductivity and ensures reliable performance over time.
Q: How do I know when to replace the AL SW180B-36?
A: Replace the AL SW180B-36 if it shows signs of wear, such as arcing or failure to operate properly. Regular maintenance and inspection can help identify when replacement is necessary.
Q: Does the AL SW180B-36 include magnetic blowouts?
A: Yes, the AL SW180B-36 includes magnetic blowouts. These are designed for high-current DC interruption and polarity-sensitive applications, enhancing arc quenching and fault-breaking capacity.
Q: What contact design does the AL SW180B-36 use?
A: The AL SW180B-36 features single-pole, normally open, double-break contacts with silver alloy tips. This design increases contact separation distance and improves arc extinction during switching events.
