DC solenoid for Yale lift trucks, a 24V DC unit, that switches a power circuit such as a starter, pump, or lift contactor. It uses a low-current control signal to pull in a high-current contact, and is replaced when it fails to engage, sticks, or chatters.
Energizing the coil on this Raymond 24 volt solenoid pulls its contacts closed and completes a high-current circuit, letting the truck's control system switch motor or accessory power on command without routing that heavy current through the control wiring itself. Rated for continuous duty, the coil is built to stay energized for extended periods without overheating, which suits it to circuits that remain closed throughout operation rather than switching only momentarily.
The solenoid handles load current a control signal cannot, acting as the electromagnetic bridge between the low-current command side and the high-current working side of the circuit. It fails in a few predictable ways: the coil burns open and no longer pulls in, the contacts weld or pit until they can no longer make or break cleanly, or it chatters instead of latching solidly. Any of these stops the controlled circuit from switching reliably, and replacing the solenoid restores it.
This 24 volt unit fits Raymond and Yale lift trucks. Match the coil voltage and the contact rating to the unit being replaced, since a solenoid must handle both the control voltage and the working current of its circuit.
