Product Description
The CL 999634 solenoid is an electromagnetic control component designed for Clark electric lift trucks and material handling equipment. This solenoid functions as an electrical switch that controls motor engagement, directional reversal, and load-holding operations by actuating contactors and mechanical linkages. It ensures reliable power distribution and precise motor command response on electric forklifts and stackers. Direct replacement for original Clark equipment, this solenoid is engineered for consistent performance across multiple operating cycles and supports the electrical control demands of modern Clark lift truck systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What function does the CL 999634 solenoid perform on a Clark lift truck?
A: The CL 999634 solenoid is an electromagnetic switch that controls motor engagement, direction reversal, or load-holding functions. When energized, it actuates mechanical linkages or contactors to direct power and control lift or drive motor operation on Clark equipment.
Q: Which Clark electric lift truck models use the CL 999634 solenoid?
A: The CL 999634 is designed for specific Clark electric lift truck configurations. Solenoid compatibility depends on voltage rating, coil design, and mounting interface. Confirm your equipment model matches this part number before ordering.
Q: What voltage does the CL 999634 solenoid operate at?
A: Voltage specifications for the CL 999634 depend on the specific motor model and control circuit design. Typical Clark lift trucks operate at 12V, 24V, 36V, or 48V DC. Verify your equipment voltage before installation to prevent solenoid failure.
Q: What are failure symptoms that indicate the CL 999634 solenoid is failing?
A: Signs of solenoid failure include motor not responding to control input, grinding or buzzing sounds when control buttons are pressed, intermittent motor engagement, stuck or sluggish motor response, or burnt smell near the solenoid. These indicate coil failure, contact corrosion, or mechanical jamming.
Q: How long does a CL 999634 solenoid typically remain operational?
A: Solenoids like the CL 999634 generally provide 3 to 7 years of service under normal usage. Lifespan is affected by switching frequency, current surges, moisture exposure, and coil temperature. Frequent control button cycling accelerates wear on internal contacts.
