CONTACTOR (24 VOLT)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CT575-24 contactor used for?
A: The CT575-24 is a 24VDC power contactor for electric lift trucks and pallet jacks. It controls power delivery to the lift and drive circuits in electric material handling equipment.
Q: What voltage does the CT575-24 operate at?
A: The CT575-24 is rated for 24 volt DC coil voltage. This is standard for most electric pallet jacks and light-duty electric lift trucks from OEMs like Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster.
Q: How do I verify the CT575-24 fits my equipment?
A: Match the contactor mounting style, connector type, and coil voltage to your truck schematic or parts manual. Contact type (normally open or normally closed) and amperage rating must also align with your circuit design.
Q: What are typical failure modes for the CT575-24?
A: Common failures include stuck contacts (no power output), open contacts (intermittent power), burnt contact surfaces from arcing, or coil failure (no magnetic response). Loss of lift function is the typical symptom reported by operators.
Q: How long do CT575-24 contactors last in service?
A: Contactor lifespan ranges from 2 to 8 years depending on switching duty and load. Frequent cycling in high-duty warehouse environments accelerates wear. Regular inspection of connector contacts for corrosion extends reliability.
