Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the RA 1-185-011/001 proximity switch used for?
A: The RA 1-185-011/001 is a proximity switch designed for electric pallet jacks and lift trucks. It detects the presence or position of mechanical components during operation, commonly used for load detection, travel limit sensing, or mast position feedback in Raymond and compatible electric material handling equipment.
Q: Which Raymond models and other brands does the RA 1-185-011/001 fit?
A: The RA 1-185-011/001 is compatible with Raymond electric pallet jacks and lift trucks. Verify your equipment model and serial range against the switch mounting location and connector type before ordering. This part may also fit equivalent models from Crown, Toyota, and Yale electric pallet jacks with similar chassis design.
Q: What are the electrical ratings and voltage specification for this proximity switch?
A: The RA 1-185-011/001 operates on the standard pallet jack circuit voltage, typically 24VDC nominal. Consult the equipment wiring diagram or contact us for the exact amperage rating and signal output specifications for your specific truck model.
Q: How long does a proximity switch typically last in service?
A: Proximity switches are durable solid-state devices with no moving parts, providing long service life when operated within specification. Failure is typically caused by mounting damage, connector corrosion, or electrical overload rather than normal wear. Expected lifespan is 5 to 10 years in continuous industrial use.
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the RA 1-185-011/001?
A: The RA 1-185-011/001 may cross-reference to OEM part number 1-185-011/001. Check your equipment documentation or contact us to confirm alternate and superseded part numbers for your specific truck model and year.
