Bucket Cylinder For Kobelco Middle Excavator SK250-8

Introduction

What is a Bucket Cylinder?

A bucket cylinder is a specialized hydraulic cylinder designed for controlling the movement of buckets in heavy 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 carry out various material handling tasks. In the hydraulic system, the bucket cylinder achieves precise control of the bucket by changes in hydraulic oil pressure, enabling operators to efficiently handle heavy loads and adapt to complex work environments and diverse operational requirements.

Features of Bucket Cylinder

• High Strength and Durability: Typically made from high-strength steel or aluminum, it can withstand high pressure and heavy loads, suitable for harsh work environments. The design considers wear resistance and corrosion resistance, extending the service life.
• Efficient Hydraulic Operation: Using hydraulic oil pressure to achieve smooth extension and contraction, it can quickly respond to control commands, provide powerful pushing and pulling force, and suitable for handling heavy loads and complex tasks.
• Various Types: Single-acting (hydraulic used only in one direction) or double-acting (hydraulic used in two directions) cylinders can be selected according to requirements to meet different operational needs. Some models are telescopic, allowing for greater extension without increasing the external dimensions, and suitable for applications with limited space.
• Easy Installation: Our product can perfectly replace these hydraulic cylinders.
• Customizable: We can produce customized hydraulic cylinders according to the specific requirements of our customers.

Applications of Bucket Cylinder

Construction Equipment

In excavators, they are crucial for digging, loading, and moving earth or debris. In backhoe loaders, the bucket cylinder assists in both digging and lifting.

Agricultural Machinery

Used for front-end loaders, picking up, lifting, and transporting soil, hay, and other materials. In excavators, the bucket cylinder allows the bucket to penetrate the soil for digging action. In front-end loaders, they help with tilting and dumping cargo efficiently.

Other Applications

The bucket cylinder is also used in other applications such as mining, forestry, and material handling.

Design Considerations and Selection Criteria

Load Bearing Capacity

The load-bearing capacity of a bucket cylinder is critical, and it should be selected based on the maximum load that it needs to carry. It is essential to ensure that the cylinder can handle the maximum pressure and load it will be subjected to during its operation.

Sealing and Durability

Sealing and durability are crucial for the performance and lifespan of the cylinder. The piston seal and rod seal should be made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials like polyurethane and nitrile rubber. The cylinder body and threaded end surfaces should be finely treated to improve wear resistance. Regular lubrication with the appropriate hydraulic oil is also necessary to maintain the cylinder’s optimum performance.

Maintenance and Repair

Installation

Proper installation is essential to ensure the bucket cylinder’s optimal performance and longevity. It is recommended to align the cylinder correctly during installation and use the appropriate installation brackets to secure it.

Maintenance

• Regular Inspection: Regular inspection of the cylinder’s condition is necessary to detect any wear or damage and take timely corrective action.
• Lubrication: Regular lubrication with the appropriate hydraulic oil is necessary to maintain the cylinder’s optimum performance.
• Seal Replacement: Seals should be replaced periodically to ensure proper sealing and prevent oil leakage.

Repair

For any repairs, it is recommended that you consult with our experienced technicians to ensure that the work is carried out to the highest standards.

Safety and Environmental Considerations

When handling the bucket cylinder, it is essential to observe all necessary safety measures to prevent accidents. Proper disposal of used hydraulic oil and other hazardous waste is also essential to protect the environment.

Troubleshooting and Common Problems

Common problems with bucket cylinders include oil leakage, seal damage, and piston rod malfunction. If you encounter any problems with your bucket cylinder, please consult our experienced technicians for assistance.
