Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the SY26558 24 volt contactor used for on electric lift trucks?
A: The SY26558 is a 24 volt electrical contactor that controls power distribution to lift motor circuits on electric fork lifts and pallet jacks. It acts as a relay switch that engages and disengages the motor based on operator demand and control system signals.
Q: What are the electrical specifications and current rating of this 24 volt contactor?
A: The SY26558 contactor is rated for 24 volt DC operation with specific amp and horsepower ratings depending on motor circuit design. Verify the contactor current rating matches your equipment motor specification to prevent undersizing and thermal failure.
Q: Which electric fork lift and pallet jack brands does the SY26558 fit?
A: The SY26558 24 volt contactor is used on electric lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, and Linde. This contactor is common across multiple models and series. Cross-reference your equipment electrical schematic to confirm fitment.
Q: What failure symptoms indicate a contactor needs replacement?
A: Replace the contactor if the lift motor does not engage, chatters intermittently, or requires multiple control activations to function. Burned or pitted contact surfaces, no audible relay click, or visible damage to the coil or terminals indicate failure.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of this 24 volt contactor?
A: A 24 volt contactor typically operates for 3-5 years in standard warehouse service. Heavy-cycle operations and exposure to moisture or vibration may reduce lifespan to 2-3 years. Inspect electrical connections regularly and replace contactors showing corrosion or arcing damage.
