Bucket Cylinder For Kobelco Small Excavator SK120-3-5-6

Introduction

A bucket cylinder is a specially designed hydraulic cylinder primarily used for controlling the movement of the bucket in heavy-duty machinery such as excavators, backhoe loaders, and front-end loaders. Its main function is to enable the bucket to lift, lower, and tilt, making it easier to handle various material handling tasks. In the hydraulic system, the bucket cylinder achieves precise control of the bucket’s movements by pressure changes in the hydraulic oil, allowing operators to efficiently handle heavy loads, adapt to complex working environments, and diverse job requirements.

Features

• High strength and durability: Usually made of high-strength steel or aluminum, able to withstand high pressure and heavy loads, suitable for harsh working environments, designed with wear resistance and corrosion resistance in mind, extending the service life.
• Efficient hydraulic operation: Utilizes hydraulic oil pressure to achieve smooth extension and retraction, responds quickly to control commands, provides powerful pushing and pulling forces, suitable for handling heavy loads and complex job tasks.
• Various types: Can select single-acting (hydraulic used in only one direction) or double-acting (hydraulic used in both directions) cylinders as needed to meet different operational requirements. Some models are telescoping, allowing for greater extension without increasing external dimensions, suitable for limited-space applications.
• Easy to install: Our products can perfectly replace these hydraulic cylinders.

Applications

Bucket cylinders are widely used in various industries and fields, such as construction equipment, agricultural machinery, excavators, and loaders. Some of the applications are:

• Construction equipment: In excavators, they are critical for excavating, loading, and moving soil or debris. In backhoe loaders, the bucket cylinder assists 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 achieves the 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

The design of a bucket cylinder considers several factors, including load capacity, sealing, durability, safety, and maintainability. Some key design considerations and selection criteria are:

• Load capacity: The bucket cylinder must be able to withstand high pressure and heavy loads, making it suitable for harsh working environments.
• Sealing: Various sealing components such as piston seals and rod seals are used in the bucket cylinder to prevent leakage of hydraulic fluid.
• Durability: The bucket cylinder must be designed with wear resistance and corrosion resistance in mind, extending the service life.
• Safety: The bucket cylinder must comply with industry safety standards, ensuring the safety of operators and others working in the surrounding area.
• Maintainability: Regular inspection and preventive maintenance are essential to keep the bucket cylinder in good working condition.

Sealing and Lubrication

Various sealing components such as piston seals and rod seals are used in the bucket cylinder to prevent leakage of hydraulic fluid. The sealing components are made of wear-resistant materials such as polyurethane and nitrile rubber to enhance durability. The cylinder body and thread end surfaces are carefully processed to improve wear resistance. Regularly adding appropriate hydraulic oil to lubricate the cylinder is necessary to ensure its smooth operation.

Inspection and Preventive Maintenance

Regular inspection and preventive maintenance are crucial to keep the bucket cylinder in good working condition. Some preventive maintenance tasks include:

• Regularly checking the cylinder’s operation status
• Proper lubrication of the cylinder
• Replacing worn-out seals and gaskets
• Checking and calibrating the cylinder’s working pressure

Proper installation, lubrication, and adjustment are essential to ensure the longevity of the bucket cylinder. During installation, aligning the cylinder properly and using appropriate installation bracket to secure it is essential. We recommend a regular inspection, repair, and replacement program to extend the service life of the bucket cylinder.

Safety Considerations and Environmental Factors

Safety measures must be taken while using the bucket cylinder to avoid accidents. Operators should follow the standard operating procedures and ensure that the equipment is in good working condition. Proper disposal of used hydraulic oil is necessary to protect the environment and prevent pollution.

Common Failures and Troubleshooting

Some common failures of the bucket cylinder include leakage, slow operation, insufficient force, and abnormal noise. Troubleshooting methods include checking the hydraulic oil level, replacing worn-out seals and gaskets, adjusting the relief valve pressure, and inspecting the oil filter. Regular maintenance and inspection can prevent most failures.
