Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the YL 518818834 solenoid and what does it do?
A: The YL 518818834 is a 12VDC continuous-duty electromechanical solenoid actuator for Yale electric lift trucks. It converts electrical signals into mechanical motion to control hydraulic valve spool position and activate lift, lower, or directional functions.
Q: What is the coil voltage rating for the YL 518818834?
A: The YL 518818834 has a 12VDC nominal coil voltage rating. Do not apply 24VDC or other voltages to this solenoid, as it will damage the coil winding and render the component inoperable.
Q: What mounting configuration does the YL 518818834 use?
A: The YL 518818834 features a standard 2-hole mounting configuration with copper alloy contacts. Stud terminals are provided for power connections, and screw terminals are provided for control signal connections.
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the YL 518818834?
A: Verified cross-reference numbers for the YL 518818834 include YT518818834 and YT 518818834. These part numbers refer to the same OEM solenoid component.
Q: Which Yale pallet truck models are compatible with the YL 518818834?
A: The YL 518818834 is compatible with select Yale pallet truck models. Verify your specific model against the solenoid specification sheet or hydraulic control schematic to confirm compatibility and correct connector type before ordering.
Q: What does continuous-duty rating mean for the YL 518818834?
A: Continuous-duty rating means the solenoid can remain energized for extended periods without thermal damage. The coil is designed to handle steady electrical current flow without overheating, making it suitable for sustained lift or lower operations.
