Raymond Auxiliary Motor New – RA1168235/500

Supplied new rather than remanufactured, this Raymond auxiliary motor drives a secondary function on the lift truck, typically the power steering or an auxiliary hydraulic pump, running independently of the main traction and lift motors. A new unit starts service with full brush length, a clean commutator, and unworn bearings, so it delivers rated output from the first shift instead of the reduced life a rebuilt core carries.

An auxiliary motor earns its hours whenever the operator steers or calls a secondary hydraulic function, so it works steadily across a shift. As the brushes wear and the commutator glazes, output drops and the motor runs hotter, the usual signal that the unit is nearing the end of its service life.

This is a Raymond electric motor matched to the auxiliary circuit it was cataloged for. Confirm the mounting flange and shaft configuration against the motor being replaced, since more than one auxiliary motor appears across the lineup and they can share a frame while differing at the mount.
