Bucket Cylinder For Volvo Small Excavator EC60C/80D

Introduction

A bucket cylinder is a specially designed hydraulic cylinder used to control the movement of a bucket in heavy machinery such as excavators, backhoe excavators, and front-end loaders. Its primary function is to enable the bucket to lift, lower, and tilt, making it easier to perform various material handling tasks. In the hydraulic system, the bucket cylinder achieves precise control of the bucket through 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

  Bucket cylinders are typically made of high-strength steel or aluminum, capable of withstanding high pressure and heavy loads, adapting to harsh working environments. The design considers wear resistance and corrosion resistance, extending the service life.

• Efficient Hydraulic Operation

  Bucket cylinders use hydraulic oil pressure to achieve smooth extension and contraction actions, enabling quick response to control commands, providing powerful pushing and pulling force, suitable for handling heavy loads and complex job tasks.

• Diverse Types

  Bucket cylinders can be chosen as single-acting (hydraulic is only used in one direction) or double-acting (hydraulic is used in both directions) according to the needs, allowing for a greater extension without increasing the external dimensions in some models, suitable for space-limited applications.

• Perfect Replacement

  Our products can perfectly replace these hydraulic cylinders.

Applications

• Construction Equipment

  Bucket cylinders are found in excavators, where they are essential for digging, loading, and moving soil or debris. In backhoe excavators, bucket cylinders help with both excavation and lifting. For front-end loaders, they assist in lifting and dumping goods efficiently.

• Agricultural Machinery

  Bucket cylinders are used on front-end loaders for scooping, lifting, and transporting soil, hay, and other materials. In excavators, they achieve digging action by allowing the bucket to penetrate the soil.

Design Considerations and Selection Criteria

When selecting a bucket cylinder, it is essential to consider its bearing capacity, sealing, durability, safety, and maintainability.

Bearing Capacity

The bearing capacity of the hydraulic cylinder depends on the strength of the cylinder body, the smoothness of the inner surface of the cylinder body, the thickness of the cylinder wall, and the strength of the connecting parts. In addition, the cylinder piston and the connecting rod need to be made of high-strength materials to withstand high pressure and heavy loads.

Sealing

The sealing of the cylinder is crucial to prevent oil leakage and keep the hydraulic system running smoothly. The cylinder should be equipped with various sealing components, such as piston seals, rod seals, and cushion seals, made of wear-resistant materials such as polyurethane and nitrile rubber to improve the sealing efficiency and prolong the service life.

Durability

The cylinder body and the threaded end surface of the cylinder head should be processed finely to improve wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Regular lubrication is also required to maintain the cylinder’s durability.

Safety

The bucket cylinder should be equipped with a safety valve to prevent sudden drops caused by hydraulic pressure loss or other unexpected situations. In addition, the operator should be familiar with the operation procedures, maintenance requirements, and safety precautions before using the cylinder.

Maintainability

The bucket cylinder should be easy to disassemble and maintain. A good bucket cylinder should be designed with easy-to-replace seals, easy-to-disassemble piston rods, and easy-to-replace wear-resistant parts.

Maintenance and Repair

Regular maintenance and repair can maximize the service life of the bucket cylinder.

Installation

Correct installation is critical to the operation of the bucket cylinder. It is recommended to align the cylinder correctly and use appropriate installation brackets to fix the cylinder.

Maintenance

• Regular Inspection: Inspect the cylinder regularly to detect wear and damage early.
• Lubrication: Add the appropriate amount of hydraulic oil regularly to keep the cylinder lubricated.
• Seal Replacement: Replace the seal regularly to prevent oil leakage.
• Calibration Check: Check the calibration of the bucket cylinder to ensure proper operation.

Repair

The repair process of the bucket cylinder should follow the recommended procedures. It is essential to use high-quality replacement parts and rebuild services to ensure the bucket cylinder’s proper operation.

Safety and Environmental Considerations

When using the bucket cylinder, it is crucial to follow safety measures to prevent accidents. Also, the hydraulic oil used in the bucket cylinder should be disposed of properly to protect the environment.

Fault Diagnosis and Common Problems

Common problems with bucket cylinders include oil leakage, abnormal noise, and insufficient power. To diagnose and solve these problems, it is necessary to inspect the hydraulic system, replace the seals, check the calibration, and rebuild the cylinder.
