Yale MPB040-E
DC drive motor has internal brushes that
require regular service as carbon builds up.
DC motors operate hot which can stress other
internal components and wiring.
Wet batteries require regular watering and
significnatly heat during charge. This requires
a lengthy cool down period before operation.
Optional gel batteries also heat during charge
due to high internal resistance which leads to
shorter battery life compared to other types.
Non-adjustable brake assembly.
Replacement requires removal of the drive.
Fixed push rods put load forces on the rods
themselves, which could cause the rods to
bend or warp. Since these rods are non-adjutable,
such damage may require expensive repalcement.
