Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What Yale lift truck models use the YL 5171616-02 solenoid-release valve?
A: The YL 5171616-02 is an OEM solenoid-release valve for Yale electric lift trucks and pallet trucks, including MP series and MPB040AC models. Confirm your specific model against Yale documentation, as some equipment variations may use alternative valve part numbers.
Q: What is the operating voltage and control principle of the YL 5171616-02?
A: The YL 5171616-02 is a 24VDC solenoid-release valve for hydraulic circuit control. When 24-volt DC current energizes the solenoid coil, the internal release mechanism opens to direct hydraulic flow. When de-energized, the valve returns to neutral or blocked position depending on circuit design.
Q: What material is the YL 5171616-02 valve body constructed from?
A: The YL 5171616-02 features a machined steel valve body designed for industrial hydraulic applications. The steel construction provides resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress from pressure cycling. The cartridge design allows direct mounting into aluminum or ductile iron manifold blocks.
Q: What hydraulic pressure range does the YL 5171616-02 valve handle?
A: The YL 5171616-02 is rated for hydraulic pressure ranges typical of Yale electric lift truck systems. Verify maximum operating pressure, minimum cracking pressure, and flow capacity against your equipment hydraulic schematic. Exceeding rated pressure will cause seal failure and internal leakage.
Q: How long does the YL 5171616-02 solenoid valve last before replacement?
A: The YL 5171616-02 typically lasts 5 to 7 years under normal electric lift truck duty, depending on hydraulic fluid condition and system cleanliness. The solenoid coil may fail if exposed to moisture or voltage spikes. Internal seals wear over time and cause slow release or complete valve failure.
Q: What indicates the YL 5171616-02 valve needs replacement?
A: Signs of valve failure include slow or sluggish lift response, inability to hold load pressure, erratic solenoid clicks without valve movement, external oil leakage from the valve body, or complete loss of lift function. Once the solenoid coil or internal seals fail, the valve must be replaced.
