Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CT 1009543 potentiometer used for in electric lift trucks?
A: The CT 1009543 is a potentiometer component used in electric lift truck control circuits. It functions as a variable resistor to provide proportional voltage feedback signals for operator input devices such as load limiters, speed controllers, or hydraulic pressure regulators.
Q: What voltage system is the CT 1009543 compatible with?
A: The CT 1009543 is designed for Caterpillar electric lift truck 24VDC systems. Verify the control circuit voltage and potentiometer resistance range specification against your equipment documentation before ordering.
Q: What is the resistance range or ohm rating of this potentiometer?
A: Cross-reference the CT 1009543 against your equipment service manual or parts diagram to confirm the exact resistance specification, typically ranging from 100 ohms to 10,000 ohms depending on control circuit application.
Q: Which Caterpillar electric lift truck models use the CT 1009543?
A: The CT 1009543 is compatible with select Caterpillar electric lift truck models. Verify your equipment model and control circuit schematic to confirm fitment before ordering this component.
Q: What are the typical failure symptoms of a failing potentiometer?
A: Common failure symptoms include erratic operator control response, loss of proportional control function, or complete system lockout. If control input becomes unresponsive or inconsistent, the potentiometer may require replacement to restore normal equipment operation.
