Product Description
SOLENOID (24 VOLT)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What voltage is the A000000297 solenoid rated for?
A: The A000000297 solenoid is rated for 24-volt DC operation. This voltage is standard for electric pallet jacks and lift trucks. Verify your system voltage matches 24 VDC before ordering to avoid equipment damage.
Q: Which electric pallet jack brands use the A000000297 solenoid?
A: The A000000297 solenoid is compatible with 24V electric pallet jacks and forklifts from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, and BT. Confirm the solenoid mounting location and connector type match your equipment.
Q: What function does the A000000297 solenoid perform on a lift truck?
A: The solenoid controls hydraulic or pneumatic valve operation for lifting, lowering, or directional control. It acts as an electrical switch that opens and closes hydraulic passages when energized. A failed solenoid prevents normal equipment operation.
Q: How can you tell if the A000000297 solenoid is failing?
A: Signs of solenoid failure include no response when controls are activated, inconsistent lifting or lowering, stuck valves, or audible clicking with no mechanical response. Electrical testing may be required to confirm a solenoid fault versus a wiring or control issue.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the A000000297 solenoid?
A: Expected service life is 4-7 years depending on cycle frequency and electrical load. Frequent use and power surges accelerate coil degradation. Regular inspection of connector condition and resistance testing can help predict failure.
Q: Does the A000000297 solenoid work with 12-volt systems?
A: No. The A000000297 is rated exclusively for 24-volt DC systems. Using this solenoid on 12V systems will result in weak or no operation. Using it on higher voltages will cause coil burnout and failure.
