Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is RA 312855-001 and where is it used?
A: RA 312855-001 is a Raymond OEM helical compression spring engineered for electric lift truck load handling systems. It provides spring force for load support and suspension in the mast or load handling assembly.
Q: What material is RA 312855-001 made from?
A: RA 312855-001 is constructed from high-strength spring steel and features a factory-applied protective coating. The red color-coded finish indicates a medium heavy-duty pressure rating classification.
Q: What is the proper deflection range for RA 312855-001?
A: RA 312855-001 is designed to operate within a 20 to 30 percent free length deflection range. Operating outside this range may cause premature spring fatigue or failure and reduce component service life.
Q: How do I identify RA 312855-001 by color and specification?
A: RA 312855-001 is red color-coded, indicating a medium heavy-duty pressure rating. This color-coding system allows rapid identification of spring load class during inspection or maintenance.
Q: What factors affect RA 312855-001 spring lifespan?
A: Spring lifespan depends on load cycles, deflection consistency, operating temperature, and the protective coating condition. Operating within the 20 to 30 percent deflection specification and maintaining coating integrity extends service life significantly.
