Bucket Cylinder For Kobelco Middle Excavator SK260LC-8

Introduction

A bucket cylinder is a specially designed hydraulic cylinder used to control the movement of the bucket in heavy machinery, such as excavators, backhoe loaders, and front-end loaders. Its main function is to enable the lifting, lowering, and tilting of the bucket, making it easier to handle various material handling tasks. In a hydraulic system, the bucket cylinder achieves precise control of the bucket by utilizing changes in hydraulic oil pressure, allowing operators to efficiently handle heavy loads and adapt to complex work environments and diverse job requirements.

Features

• High Strength and Durability: Typically made from high-strength steel or aluminum, able to withstand high pressure and heavy loads, suitable for harsh working environments, designed with consideration for wear resistance and corrosion resistance, extending the lifespan.
• Efficient Hydraulic Operation: Utilizes hydraulic oil pressure to achieve smooth extension and retraction movements, able to respond quickly to control commands, providing powerful pushing and pulling force, suitable for handling heavy loads and complex job tasks.
• Various Types: Can be selected as single-acting (hydraulic used in one direction only) or double-acting (hydraulic used in both directions) cylinders according to needs, with some models being telescopic, allowing for greater extension without increasing external dimensions, suitable for applications with limited space.
• Perfect Replacement: Our products can perfectly replace these hydraulic cylinders.

Applications

The bucket cylinder is widely used in various applications, including:

• Construction Equipment: Found in excavators, they are crucial for excavation, loading, and moving of soil or debris. In backhoe loaders, the bucket cylinder aids in both digging and lifting.
• Agricultural Machinery: Used in front-end loaders for scooping, lifting, and transporting soil, hay, and other materials.
• Excavators: The bucket cylinder enables digging action by allowing the bucket to penetrate the soil.
• Loaders: In front-end loaders, they assist in lifting and tilting goods effectively.

Design Considerations and Selection Criteria

When designing bucket cylinders, several key factors are taken into account:

• Load-Bearing Capacity: The cylinder must be able to withstand the maximum expected loads without failure.
• Sealing: Various sealing elements, such as piston seals and rod seals, are used with wear-resistant materials like polyurethane and nitrile rubber to ensure proper sealing and prevent leakage.
• Durability: The cylinder is designed to withstand the intended operating conditions and resist wear and tear for extended service life.
• Safety: Safety features are incorporated to prevent accidents and ensure the cylinder operates safely.
• Maintainability: The cylinder is designed to facilitate easy maintenance and repair, allowing for efficient and cost-effective servicing.

Sealing and Lubrication

Bucket cylinders utilize various sealing elements, such as piston seals and rod seals, which are made of wear-resistant materials like polyurethane and nitrile rubber. The cylinder body and threaded ends are finely treated to improve wear resistance. Regular lubrication with the appropriate amount of hydraulic oil is necessary to ensure smooth operation and prolong the lifespan of the cylinder.

Regular Inspection and Preventative Maintenance

• Regularly inspect the cylinder for any signs of damage, leakage, or abnormal operation.
• Ensure proper lubrication of all moving parts.
• Replace seals and other worn components as necessary.
• Perform calibration checks to ensure the cylinder operates within specified parameters.

Safety Considerations and Environmental Factors

When using bucket cylinders, it is important to follow safety measures to prevent accidents and ensure the well-being of personnel. Additionally, environmental factors such as proper waste disposal and adherence to regulations should be considered to minimize the impact on the environment.

Fault Diagnosis and Common Problems

Common problems that may occur with bucket cylinders include leakage, insufficient power, and abnormal movements. If any issues arise, the following tips and solutions can help diagnose and resolve problems effectively. It is also recommended to implement preventive measures to minimize potential problems.

Maintenance Tasks

Common maintenance tasks for bucket cylinders include regular inspection, proper lubrication, seal replacement, and calibration checks. It is important to emphasize the importance of correct installation, lubrication, and adjustment. During installation, providing proper alignment guidance for the cylinder and using appropriate mounting brackets to secure the cylinder is recommended. Recommended inspection, repair, and replacement procedures are provided, along with tips to extend the lifespan of the cylinder.
