The Rotary PK205SPOA electrical control component is the direct replacement for the Rotary lift it came off of. Cross-referenced as ALS-7528-78, it is the genuine Rotary part — same part number, same fit, and same working specification as the one already on your lift. Ordering the Rotary 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: ALS-7528-78
- Brand: Rotary
- Type: Genuine OEM electrical control component
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.
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.

Replacing your electrical control component
Electrical repairs on a lift start with safety: confirm the power is off and verified dead before you touch a wire. From there it's methodical — trace the fault to the switch, contactor, motor, or a loose connection, replace the failed part, and test that the lift runs and stops correctly. Since it's live power, the full procedure is worth following start to finish. 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 Rotary 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
The electrical triage list: dead lift — check breaker, disconnect, and incoming voltage first; intermittent — hunt a loose or corroded connection; hums but won't turn — capacitor or seized pump; trips the overload — motor or binding pump drawing high current; burnt smell — find the overheated point before running again; chattering contactor — low coil voltage or worn points. Power off before you probe or tighten anything.
Parts commonly replaced at the same time
When you are in the control system, look at the parts around the failure: the relay near a dead contactor, the switch on a circuit that keeps dropping out. Doing the related components together while power is locked out saves a second service. We will pull the right versions for your lift's configuration.
Safety notes
Power off, verified off, before the panel opens. The electrical side of a lift controls the parts that make it safe — the overhead cutoff, the interlocks, the motor — so a wrong connection is not just a dead lift, it can be an unsafe one. Work the circuit cold, and if the wiring does not match the diagram, get help rather than guessing.
Before you order
Electrical fit comes down to voltage and phase, so confirm both off the plate before ordering, along with model and serial. The same lift model can ship in more than one electrical configuration. Not sure what you are looking at? Photograph the old part's label and we will identify the correct replacement.
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.
Why buy your Rotary electrical control component from Auto Lift Services
We install, inspect, and repair Rotary lifts every week — the ALS-7528-78 is a part we handle in the shop, not a random SKU we drop-ship. The phone answers if you have a question mid-install — call 800-674-9302 — and every part ships genuine, no aftermarket substitution unless you ask for it.
About this spoa9 switchbar rotary
Sourcing the correct spoa9 switchbar rotary is not the spot a shop wants to gamble. This piece sits inside a load path the lift manufacturer engineered to specific tolerances, and a substitute that looks close but is off by even a small margin can transfer load onto a neighboring component that was not designed for it. We stock this exact part to the OEM specification the original manufacturer publishes, which is why techs who have been through a bad aftermarket cycle keep coming back to us for the same replacement whenever their next need comes up.
Technical specification & installation notes
Torque and installation notes for this component follow the manufacturer's service manual. Where a torque value is called out, use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the tightening sequence the manual publishes for that fastener location — many lift assemblies require star-pattern or crosswise tightening to distribute load evenly. Skipping that step is one of the most common reasons a correctly-sourced spoa9 switchbar rotary still ends up needing to be re-serviced within a year. Our tech line at 800-674-9302 will walk your installer through the procedure if the shop does not have the current service manual on hand.
Shipping & ordering
Shipping runs 3-5 business days on standard ground to the lower 48 states. Expedited overnight and two-day options are available; call 800-674-9302 before ordering to quote expedited freight. We stock the spoa9 switchbar rotary in Iowa and ship same-day for orders confirmed before 2 PM Central. Orders that come in later than that or on a Friday afternoon pick up on the next business day. A tracking number gets emailed to the address on the order the moment the package leaves our dock.
Warranty coverage
Every spoa9 switchbar rotary sold through Automotive Lift Services carries a one-year manufacturer-defect warranty. If it fails within that window due to a defect in material or workmanship, we replace it at no charge. Damage from improper installation, use outside the lift's rated capacity, side-loading, or modifications to the parent lift are not covered. The warranty is documented on your original order receipt — retain that record for the coverage period. To submit a warranty claim, contact us with the order number and a photo of the failure at [email protected].
Cross-reference & fitment
Alternate applications for the spoa9 switchbar rotary sometimes exist. Where a common part fits multiple lift models across a manufacturer's catalog, cross-reference sheets show the compatible models explicitly. If you are consolidating parts stock and want to know which of your lifts the piece covers, email the request to [email protected] with a list of the lift models in your bay — we return a compatibility grid showing which lifts accept the replacement and which need a different number.
Questions about the spoa9 switchbar rotary? Call our parts desk at 800-674-9302 or email [email protected]. We ship nationwide from our Iowa warehouse and answer fitment questions within one business day.
