Product Description
The RA 7-448-001-047 brake cam is a direct replacement component for Raymond 8300, 8400, and 8500 series electric pallet jacks. Manufactured from high-strength steel with phosphate coating, this cam provides corrosion resistance and durability in warehouse environments. The induction-hardened wear surfaces withstand repetitive mechanical contact cycles, transmitting rotational movement from the brake lever shaft to engage or disengage the brake and caster assemblies. A critical safety component for reliable load handling and truck control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the RA 7-448-001-047 cam and what equipment does it fit?
A: The RA 7-448-001-047 is a Raymond OEM cam designed for mechanical actuation within brake and caster assemblies. It is compatible with Raymond 8300, 8400, and 8500 series electric pallet trucks. Verify your pallet jack model before ordering.
Q: What are the material properties and durability features of this cam?
A: The RA 7-448-001-047 is manufactured from high-strength steel with phosphate coating for corrosion resistance. The wear surfaces are induction hardened to withstand repetitive mechanical contact and rotation cycles. This hardening extends the service life in warehouse environments.
Q: What is the function of this cam in the pallet truck?
A: The cam transmits rotational movement from the brake lever shaft to engage or disengage the brake mechanism and caster assembly. It is a critical safety component for controlling truck movement during load handling.
Q: What should I check if the brake lever feels stiff or unresponsive?
A: A worn or stuck cam can cause stiff lever operation. Inspect the cam for surface cracks, flaking, or corrosion of the phosphate coating. If damage is visible, the part should be replaced. Refer to your Raymond service manual for specific geometry and assembly details.
