Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment does the RA 830-218 compression spring fit?
A: The RA 830-218 is an OEM compression spring for Raymond Model 7400 Reach Truck Idler Wheel Assembly. This spring is not compatible with other equipment models or brands.
Q: What are the physical specifications of the RA 830-218?
A: The RA 830-218 specifications are: wire diameter 0.0150 inch, outer diameter 0.1900 inch, free length 1.3800 inch. Material is carbon steel with plain finish. These dimensions are application-specific for the 7400 Reach Truck idler wheel.
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for RA 830-218?
A: Cross-references include Raymond OEM 830-218, Total Source 830-218, and RA830-218. All refer to the same compression spring component.
Q: Can I substitute RA 830-218 with a generic compression spring?
A: No. The RA 830-218 is engineered to precise specifications for idler wheel tension in the 7400 Reach Truck. Using an incorrect spring diameter, wire thickness, or free length will cause improper wheel tracking and mast instability.
Q: How do I know if the RA 830-218 spring has failed?
A: Signs of failure include uneven wheel wear, difficulty steering, mast tilting or swaying, or visible cracks in the spring. Compression springs lose their load capacity over time and must be replaced as a set on both sides of the idler wheel assembly.
Q: What is the material and finish of the RA 830-218?
A: The RA 830-218 is carbon steel with a plain finish. This material provides adequate corrosion resistance for indoor material handling environments. Cold storage and wet conditions may accelerate oxidation.
