Product Description
SOLENOID (12 VOLT)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What voltage is the IE-4029 solenoid rated for?
A: The IE-4029 is a 12-volt solenoid designed for control circuit applications in electric lift trucks and material handling equipment.
Q: What is the typical application for a 12-volt solenoid in lift truck systems?
A: 12-volt solenoids are used in control circuits to actuate relays, contactors, and directional valves in electric lift truck hydraulic or pneumatic systems. The IE-4029 fits standard OEM applications across Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster platforms.
Q: How does a solenoid differ from a contactor?
A: A solenoid is an electromagnet that converts electrical current into linear motion, typically used to actuate valves or relays. A contactor is an electromagnetic switch that opens and closes electrical circuits carrying higher loads. The IE-4029 solenoid controls auxiliary circuits, while contactors handle main power distribution.
Q: What maintenance does the IE-4029 solenoid require?
A: Solenoids require minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect for coil damage, corrosion, or loose electrical connections. Test for proper engagement and response. Replace if performance degrades or coil resistance drifts beyond specification.
Q: Does the IE-4029 have documented cross-reference part numbers?
A: Verify availability of cross-reference numbers by consulting your equipment manufacturer documentation or providing the original OEM specification. Order using the IE-4029 designation for this 12-volt solenoid.
