RA 570-414-08

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the RA 570-414-08 brush spring set include?
A: The RA 570-414-08 is a four-piece brush spring set designed for Raymond OEM motor assemblies in electric lift trucks. Each set contains four individual springs manufactured from high-tensile spring steel and shot-peened to increase fatigue resistance and extend service life.

Q: What material are the RA 570-414-08 springs made from?
A: The RA 570-414-08 brush springs are manufactured from high-tensile spring steel and undergo shot-peening, which increases fatigue life and improves resistance to stress cycling. This material specification ensures consistent brush pressure and reliable motor performance in electric lift truck applications.

Q: Which Raymond electric lift truck models use the RA 570-414-08?
A: The RA 570-414-08 is compatible with Raymond electric lift truck motor assemblies that use OEM brush holders. Verify your motor assembly part number against the RA 570-414-08 specification sheet to confirm compatibility with your specific Raymond model.

Q: What are signs that brush springs need replacement?
A: Worn or weakened brush springs typically cause inconsistent motor performance, reduced brush pressure, arcing, or motor chatter. If your motor shows irregular operation or reduced lift capacity, worn springs may be the cause. Inspect springs during routine motor maintenance.

Q: How does shot-peening benefit the RA 570-414-08 springs?
A: Shot-peening is a surface treatment that compresses the outer layer of the spring, increasing resistance to fatigue cracking and stress cycling. For the RA 570-414-08, this process extends spring life under repeated brush pressure cycles and improves overall motor reliability in daily lift truck operation.
