Crown Guide Spring CR120855 – E-5795

Holding a moving component in position and returning it after actuation, this guide spring maintains tension against a guided part throughout its travel on Crown electric lift trucks. Crown uses it within an assembly where the spring's steady load is what keeps the part it guides from drifting off position between actuations.

A guide spring that has lost tension or taken a set no longer holds its part in place, and that shows up on the equipment as loose or drifting movement in the mechanism the spring supports. Because the spring works by holding a consistent load rather than by a single large stroke, even a modest loss of rate is enough to let the guided part wander, which is the signal it has reached the end of its service life.

Match the free length and wire diameter to the original spring, since together they set the load the spring holds against the guided part; a spring that seats but carries a lower rate will not keep that part located.
