The BendPak 5520492 electrical control component is the direct replacement for the BendPak lift it came off of. This is the genuine BendPak part — same fit and same working specification as the one already on your lift. Ordering the BendPak electrical control component from us gets you the OEM piece that matches the lift, not an aftermarket knock-off that is close but not the same.

Specifications

• Part number: 5520492
• Brand: BendPak
• Type: Genuine OEM electrical control component

Electrical parts fail by heat and by contacts. A push-button's contacts pit and stop making a clean connection; a contactor's points burn and weld or chatter; a wire lug loosens, arcs, and cooks. Motors fail on windings, bearings, or a start capacitor. The tells are a lift that runs intermittently, won't start, trips the breaker, hums without turning, or greets you with the smell of hot varnish.

The one spec you cannot get wrong on lift electrics is voltage. A 110-volt motor and a 220-volt motor are not interchangeable, and neither are their contactors and overloads. Single-phase versus three-phase matters just as much. Read the data tag on the motor and match voltage, phase, and horsepower exactly — the wrong one either won't run, runs weak, or burns up the first time it's asked to lift.

Replacing your electrical control component

A motor replacement hinges on matching the data tag — voltage, phase, and horsepower — before anything else, then disconnecting power, transferring the wiring, and coupling it to the pump. Verify rotation and that the motor comes up to speed without tripping the overload. Because it's high-current work, walk through the complete procedure before you start. Not sure on the procedure? Find your lift in our parts lookup or call and we will walk you through it.

Find the right part for your lift

If you are not sure this part matches your setup, the fastest check is the visual breakdown: open our parts lookup, pick your model, and match your part against the drawing where every item is numbered. Can't read the model plate? our guide to finding your model number shows exactly where it lives on each lift type, and we are a phone call away if you would rather have us confirm it.

Signs of an electrical fault

Watch and listen to the contactor when you press up. It should pull in with one clean clack and hold silent. A contactor that chatters, buzzes, or pulls in and drops out is getting low coil voltage, has worn points, or isn't latching — and chatter hammers the motor with make-and-break current. Pitted, welded, or chattering contacts mean the contactor needs attention now, not later.

Parts commonly replaced at the same time

The parts near an electrical fault are worth a look while the cover is off — a chattering contactor, a marginal switch, brittle wiring. Handling them together on a de-energized circuit beats repeated trips into the panel. Tell us your model, voltage, and phase and we will confirm the related components.

Safety notes

The control system is a safety system, so respect it. De-energize and verify before servicing, keep line and low-voltage wiring where the diagram puts them, and never bypass an interlock to get a lift running. If the fix involves the overhead shutoff or the lock circuit, be certain it works before the lift carries a vehicle.

Before you order

Before you buy an electrical part, pull the voltage and phase off the plate along with model and serial — they determine the fit. A wrong-phase contactor or motor is a guaranteed return. Share the old part's markings and we will match the correct component for your lift's control system.

Ordering the right revision

Before this goes in the cart, grab two things off your lift: the model number and the serial number, both on the manufacturer's plate. The serial matters more than most people expect — lift makers revise components between production runs without renaming the lift, and the run your serial falls in determines which revision of this part is correct.

If you are working from a failed part rather than a plate, measure what you have and photograph how it mounts. Send that to us along with the lift brand, and we will check it against the same parts breakdowns our own techs use in the field before you commit to the order.
