Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment does the GE 6960076G1 contact fit?
A: The GE 6960076G1 is a replacement contact used in contactors and motor starters for electric lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale. Verify your equipment voltage and contactor model before ordering to ensure compatibility.
Q: What is the material composition of the GE 6960076G1 contact?
A: The GE 6960076G1 is constructed from silver-cadmium alloy or equivalent noble metal plating designed for electrical conductivity and arc resistance in material handling equipment. This material resists oxidation and maintains low contact resistance under repeated load cycling.
Q: How long does the GE 6960076G1 contact last before replacement?
A: Contact lifespan depends on load cycle frequency, voltage, and amperage. In normal operation, contacts typically function for 2 to 5 years. Frequent load switching or high-amperage applications may reduce lifespan. Replace contacts when you observe pitting, welding, or loss of conductivity.
Q: Can the GE 6960076G1 contact be cross-referenced with other brands?
A: The GE 6960076G1 is a standard replacement part used across multiple lift truck brands and manufacturers. Contact specifications and contact cross-references vary by contactor model. Verify part number and specifications with your equipment documentation to confirm interchange compatibility.
Q: What symptoms indicate the GE 6960076G1 contact needs replacement?
A: Replace the contact if your equipment exhibits intermittent motor starting, loss of forward or reverse drive, arcing sounds from the contactor, or visible pitting and discoloration on the contact surface. Worn contacts prevent reliable current flow and can cause further contactor damage.
Q: What maintenance extends the life of the GE 6960076G1 contact?
A: Maintain low contact resistance by keeping the contactor enclosure clean and dry. Prevent moisture and dust accumulation, which accelerates oxidation. Inspect the contactor regularly during routine equipment maintenance. Avoid overloading the circuit, as excessive amperage degrades contacts faster.
