Crown AC Drive Motor Remanufactured – CR021196R

Crown's CR021196-001 is an AC drive motor built for the propulsion system on Crown electric lift trucks, turning the drive wheels through the truck's reduction gearing to move the truck under load. AC drive motors use a brushless design rather than the carbon-brush commutator found in older DC motors, a difference that cuts down on wear points and gives the controller finer command over speed and torque through the truck's full travel range.

This unit is remanufactured on an exchange basis, meaning a worn core motor is returned as part of the purchase. Remanufacturing strips the motor down and restores the windings, bearings, and other wear components to operating specification, bringing performance back in line with a new unit at a lower cost than replacing the assembly outright. That makes it a practical option for fleets already running a core exchange program rather than buying new.

At 89 pounds, this motor carries the mass typical of a drive motor assembly sized for a full-size electric lift truck, reflecting the windings and housing needed to deliver sustained propulsion torque. Symptoms of a failing drive motor include loss of power under load, overheating, or bearing noise, any of which point to the motor rather than the controller or wiring.
