RA 850135245

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the material composition of the RA 850135245 roller chain?
A: The RA 850135245 is a Raymond OEM roller chain constructed from carbon steel with riveted link plates. Carbon steel construction provides high strength and wear resistance under the repetitive tensioning and movement cycles typical of electric lift truck applications.

Q: What are the chain specifications for the RA 850135245?
A: The RA 850135245 follows ANSI chain configuration standards. It includes specification for full chain pitch, roller diameter, and pin dimensions consistent with typical electric lift truck chain requirements. Consult the OEM parts diagram for exact dimensional data.

Q: Which Raymond electric lift truck models use the RA 850135245 roller chain?
A: The RA 850135245 roller chain is engineered for use in Raymond electric lift trucks where ANSI-configuration chains provide mast or load-handling drive power. Verify your specific truck model against the parts manual before ordering.

Q: What causes premature wear or failure of the RA 850135245 chain?
A: Chain wear accelerates with inadequate lubrication, misalignment, overloading, or lack of tension maintenance. Symptoms include noise during operation, visible link separation, rust spots, or chain slip. Replace the chain if these conditions develop.

Q: What is the expected service life of the RA 850135245 roller chain?
A: Under normal operating conditions with proper maintenance, ANSI roller chains typically last 2 to 4 years. Service life depends on load cycles, lubrication schedules, and environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity.

Q: Are there cross-reference or superseding part numbers for the RA 850135245?
A: No cross-reference or superseding part numbers have been identified for the RA 850135245. Use the original OEM SKU to ensure you receive the correct chain with proper pitch, roller size, and pin configuration.
