What Are Shield Machine Hydraulic Cylinders?

Shield Machine Hydraulic Cylinder

Shield machine hydraulic cylinders are robust actuators that convert hydraulic fluid energy into linear mechanical force, tailored for heavy-duty tunneling applications. Constructed from high-strength steel with corrosion-resistant coatings, these hydraulic cylinders for shield machine withstand extreme pressures (up to 8000 PSI), abrasive slurry, and high-duty cycles, ensuring durability in applications like cutterhead thrust, segment erection, and shield articulation.

Compliant with industry standards like ISO and DIN, our heavy-duty shield machine hydraulic cylinders offer precise control and compatibility with diverse TBM designs. Customizable stroke lengths, load capacities, and mounting options meet specific tunneling requirements, while low-friction seals and energy-efficient designs reduce power consumption and maintenance costs. From metro tunneling to water conveyance projects, our energy-efficient shield machine cylinders enhance performance and longevity.

Clean Thoroughly

Clean your hydraulic cylinder for shield machine after use with a low-pressure washer (1000-1500 PSI) to remove slurry, dust, or grease. Dry with a microfiber cloth to prevent corrosion. Avoid high-pressure washing to protect seals.

Pro Tip:

Use biodegradable degreaser for stubborn slurry residues, safe for energy-efficient shield machine cylinders.

Tools Needed:

Low-pressure washer, degreaser, microfiber cloth.

Example Outcome:

A railway tunnel project extended seal life by 20% by cleaning high-pressure hydraulic cylinders for segment erection post-use.

Lubricate Properly

Apply high-performance grease (e.g., Shell Gadus S3 V220C, Mobilgrease XHP 222) to rods, seals, and pivot points to minimize friction. Ensure even coverage without over-application to avoid debris attraction. Reapply after cleaning or prolonged use.

Pro Tip:

Verify grease compatibility to prevent degradation of shield machine hydraulic rams.

Recommended Products:

Shell Gadus S3 V220C, Mobilgrease XHP 222.

Example Outcome:

A water conveyance tunnel increased shield machine hydraulic cylinder service intervals by 15% with lubrication.

4

Protect Against Environmental Damage

Apply corrosion-inhibiting spray to rods and exposed surfaces after use to shield against rust. Store spare cylinders in a dry, covered area, using waterproof covers and retracting rods to minimize exposure.

Pro Tip:

Use desiccant packs in storage to absorb moisture.

Recommended Products:

WD-40 Specialist Corrosion Inhibitor, CRC SP-400.

Example Outcome:

A metro tunneling project avoided repairs by protecting durable hydraulic cylinders for shield machine cutterhead thrust during storage.

Schedule Professional Service

Annual servicing by certified technicians ensures your shield machine hydraulic cylinder operates efficiently. Professionals perform pressure tests, seal replacements, and inspections. Schedule during planned downtime to avoid disruptions.

Pro Tip:

Request fluid analysis for predictive maintenance.

Frequency:

Annually or after 1,000 operating hours.

Example Outcome:

A railway tunnel project reduced downtime by 30% with servicing of hydraulic cylinders for shield machine.
