Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What voltage and current rating does the RA 590-111 solenoid have?
A: The RA 590-111 is a 12VDC contactor solenoid with a maximum inrush current of 350A. It features a single-pole, normally-open copper alloy contact stack for high-current electric control applications on Raymond lift trucks.
Q: What is the cycle life rating for the RA 590-111?
A: The RA 590-111 is rated for 100,000 electrical cycles at rated load. This cycle life rating assumes proper voltage supply and normal operating conditions. Verify your equipment usage frequency to ensure this part meets your application requirements.
Q: What materials are used in the RA 590-111 construction?
A: The RA 590-111 features a glass-reinforced thermoplastic body, hardened steel spring contact (SAE 1070), and copper alloy contact stack. These materials provide durability in industrial lift truck control circuits and resistance to high-cycle switching stress.
Q: What terminal specifications does the RA 590-111 have?
A: The RA 590-111 includes heavy-duty 3/8 inch-16 UNC stud terminals for panel mount installation. Verify terminal size and mounting clearance on your control panel before ordering to avoid fitment issues.
Q: Is the RA 590-111 compatible with 24VDC systems?
A: No. The RA 590-111 is rated for 12VDC operation only. Using it on a 24VDC system will cause solenoid failure and control circuit malfunction. If you need a 24VDC solenoid, refer to the RA 590-114.
