Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the HY 362118 brush pair include?
A: HY 362118 is a pair of replacement motor brushes for Hyster electric lift trucks. This two-brush set is designed to be installed together as a matched pair to maintain balanced electrical contact on the motor commutator.
Q: Why should HY 362118 brushes be replaced as a pair?
A: Replacing HY 362118 brushes as a matched pair ensures equal contact pressure and electrical resistance. Mixing old and new brushes creates uneven wear and can cause motor performance issues, arcing, or commutator damage.
Q: What material are HY 362118 brushes made from?
A: HY 362118 brushes are manufactured from electrical grade carbon-graphite material. This composition provides efficient current transfer, low resistance, and controlled wear characteristics for Hyster lift truck motor applications.
Q: How do you know when HY 362118 brushes need replacement?
A: Replace HY 362118 brushes when motor power drops, performance becomes erratic, sparking occurs at the motor, or brush wear is visibly reduced to less than one-quarter original length. These signs indicate insufficient contact and electrical performance.
Q: What is the expected service life of HY 362118 brushes?
A: HY 362118 brush lifespan varies with motor duty cycle and hours of operation. Light-duty equipment typically sees 2000 to 3000 motor hours before replacement. High-duty applications may require replacement every 1000 to 1500 hours.
