Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the RA 828-013-978 and what does it do?
A: The RA 828-013-978 is a direct replacement cellulose fiber composite gasket for the drive motor and transmission interface on Raymond 7400, 7420, and 7440 series electric pallet trucks. It creates a fluid-tight seal between the motor and drivetrain assembly to prevent hydraulic and transmission fluid leakage.
Q: What are the key specifications of this gasket?
A: The RA 828-013-978 features a precision die-cut profile with nominal thickness of 0.031 inches and application-specific bolt hole patterns for Raymond 7400 series motor housings. It is manufactured from cellulose fiber composite material engineered to resist oil and coolant degradation while maintaining sealing integrity under normal operating pressures.
Q: How long does this gasket remain serviceable?
A: Motor gaskets typically remain serviceable for 3-7 years depending on operating hours and thermal cycling. Replacement is necessary if the motor interface begins leaking fluid, bolts loosen repeatedly, or the gasket surface shows visible cracking or hardening. Gaskets should never be reused.
Q: What cross-reference numbers apply to the RA 828-013-978?
A: The RA 828-013-978 can also be referenced as part number 828-013-978 or RA828013978. Always verify the complete part number when ordering to ensure compatibility with your specific Raymond equipment.
Q: What Raymond equipment models use this gasket?
A: This gasket is designed for Raymond 7400, 7420, and 7440 series electric pallet trucks. These are walkie-type electric lift trucks used for loading, unloading, and horizontal transport in warehouse and distribution environments.
