Product Description
SOLENOID (24 VOLT)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the voltage specification for SKU 3027557?
A: SKU 3027557 is a 24-volt solenoid designed for electric lift truck control systems. Verify that your equipment operates at 24 volts DC before ordering. Operating this solenoid at incorrect voltage causes coil burnout and circuit failure.
Q: What equipment types use this 24-volt solenoid?
A: This solenoid is compatible with electric pallet jacks, electric walkie trucks, and electric ride-on lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Jungheinrich, and Linde. It controls hydraulic or pneumatic circuits for lift, lower, and directional functions. Confirm your equipment voltage and solenoid mounting location before ordering.
Q: What is the switching capacity and duty cycle for this solenoid?
A: Industrial 24-volt solenoids typically handle switching capacities of 10-15 amps with continuous or intermittent duty cycles. This solenoid is rated for frequent cycling typical of pallet jack operation. Exceeding the rated amperage causes coil overheating and premature failure.
Q: What environmental conditions can this solenoid tolerate?
A: This solenoid operates in typical warehouse environments at temperatures between 0 and 50 degrees Celsius. Exposure to extreme cold below freezing or excessive heat above 60 degrees Celsius reduces coil life. Moisture and humid environments may corrode solenoid connections. Inspect for corrosion on electrical terminals and clean as needed.
Q: How do I diagnose a failed solenoid and confirm replacement is needed?
A: If a lift function does not respond when control buttons are pressed, the solenoid may have failed. Check that 24 volts is present at the solenoid coil terminals using a multimeter. If voltage is present but the solenoid does not click or activate, the coil is burned out and requires replacement. A seized solenoid prevents any movement response from the control circuits.
