Product Description
SOLENOID (24 VOLT)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does a 24-volt solenoid do in an electric lift truck?
A: A 24-volt solenoid is an electromechanical switch that converts electrical current into mechanical motion. In lift trucks, solenoids control hydraulic directional valves, brake engagement, or motor circuits by energizing an electromagnet that pulls a plunger to open or close valve ports.
Q: Which electric lift truck models are compatible with SKU 14462820?
A: This 24-volt solenoid fits multiple electric lift truck models from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Jungheinrich. Verify the solenoid mounting footprint, coil voltage, and fluid port compatibility with your specific equipment.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of a solenoid?
A: A well-maintained 24-volt solenoid typically lasts 4 to 7 years depending on cycle frequency and operating environment. Solenoids used in high-duty or harsh conditions may fail sooner. Replace the solenoid if it fails to engage, sticks, or produces abnormal noise.
Q: What maintenance extends solenoid life?
A: Keep the solenoid coil and connections dry and free from contamination. Periodically check electrical terminals for corrosion. Maintain clean hydraulic fluid to prevent valve clogging. Test solenoid response quarterly for consistent engagement speed and holding force.
