Product Description
CONTACTOR (24 VOLT)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What voltage is the CT569-24 contactor rated for?
A: The CT569-24 is rated for 24 volt DC coil voltage. This is the standard control voltage for most electric pallet jacks and electric lift trucks from major OEMs like Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale.
Q: What equipment types is the CT569-24 compatible with?
A: The CT569-24 is a general-purpose 24VDC power contactor designed for electric lift truck and pallet jack circuit control assemblies. Verify the contactor mounting style and connector type match your specific equipment before ordering.
Q: Is the CT569-24 a normally open or normally closed contactor?
A: The CT569-24 is a power contactor. Confirm the contact configuration (normally open or normally closed) with your equipment schematic, as this determines safe operation in your circuit.
Q: What are typical symptoms of a failing CT569-24 contactor?
A: Signs of contactor failure include loss of power to the lift mechanism, intermittent operation, audible humming without engagement, or burnt contact surfaces. If the truck does not respond to control inputs, the contactor is often the first component to check.
Q: How long does a CT569-24 contactor typically last?
A: Contactor lifespan depends on switching frequency and load. Heavy-duty operation in industrial settings may require replacement every 2 to 5 years. Lighter duty cycles extend lifespan. Inspect contact surfaces regularly for pitting or carbon buildup.
