Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes the AL DC182-561L suitable for industrial lift trucks?
A: The AL DC182-561L is designed for demanding reversing motor applications in industrial lift trucks. It features double breaking main contacts with silver alloy tips, M8 main terminals, and direct bracket mounting for reliable performance.
Q: Which lift truck brands is the AL DC182-561L compatible with?
A: The AL DC182-561L is compatible with Albright and Crown lift trucks, specifically models such as RR3000. Always verify your equipment's specifications to ensure proper fit and function.
Q: How durable is the AL DC182-561L in high-cycle applications?
A: The AL DC182-561L is built for long-term use and exceeds 5,000,000 mechanical duty cycles. Its double breaking contact design and silver alloy contact material provide superior arc suppression and extended contact life under frequent switching.
Q: What are the intermittent current ratings and duty cycles?
A: The AL DC182-561L supports 275A intermittent current at a 30 percent duty cycle and 235A at a 40 percent duty cycle. These ratings allow for higher transient currents during acceleration and deceleration cycles typical in lift truck operations.
Q: What is the silver alloy contact material used for?
A: Silver alloy contacts on the main terminals provide superior electrical conductivity, lower contact resistance, and enhanced arc extinguishing capability. This material withstands the high currents and switching stresses of motor reversing applications without excessive arcing or contact erosion.
Q: How should I replace the AL DC182-561L?
A: When replacing the AL DC182-561L, ensure you have the correct part number and verify compatibility with your lift truck model. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for proper installation.
