Bucket Cylinder For IHI Small Excavator IHI20VXT

Introduction

The bucket cylinder is a specially designed hydraulic cylinder mainly used for controlling the movement of the bucket in heavy machinery such as excavators, backhoe loaders, and front-end loaders. Its main function is to allow 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 through changes in hydraulic oil pressure, allowing operators to efficiently handle heavy objects and adapt to complex working environments and diverse operational requirements.

Features

• High strength and durability: Typically made of high-strength steel or aluminum, it can withstand high pressure and heavy loads, adapting to harsh working environments. The design takes into account wear resistance and corrosion resistance, prolonging the service life.
• Efficient hydraulic operation: Smooth extension and retraction are achieved by utilizing the pressure of hydraulic oil, providing strong pushing and pulling force, suitable for handling heavy objects and complex tasks.
• Various types: Single-acting (hydraulic is used in only one direction) or double-acting (hydraulic is used in both 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, suitable for applications with limited space.
• Produced by us: Our product can perfectly replace these hydraulic cylinders.

Applications

The bucket cylinder is widely used in various heavy machinery, including:

• Construction equipment: In excavators, they are crucial for digging, loading, and moving soil or debris. In backhoe loaders, bucket cylinders aid 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 digging action by allowing the bucket to penetrate the soil.
• Front-loaders: In front-end loaders, they aid in lifting and tilting goods effectively.

Design Considerations and Selection Criteria

The design considerations of the bucket cylinder include the bearing capacity, sealing performance, durability, safety, and maintainability.

• Bearing capacity: The cylinder must be strong enough to withstand high pressure and heavy loads.
• Sealing performance: Various sealing components, such as piston seals and rod seals, are used to ensure that no fluid leaks from the cylinder.
• Durability: The cylinder must be abrasion-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and the cylinder body and threaded end surfaces are finely processed to improve wear resistance.
• Safety: The cylinder must be designed with safety features such as safety valves and overload protection to prevent accidents.
• Maintainability: The cylinder must be easy to maintain, with easy-to-replace parts and simple repair procedures.

Sealing and Lubrication

The bucket cylinder uses various sealing components, such as piston seals and rod seals, and these components are made of abrasion-resistant materials such as polyurethane and nitrile rubber. The cylinder body and threaded end surfaces are finely processed to improve wear resistance. The cylinder requires regular lubrication with an appropriate amount of hydraulic oil to maintain proper operation.

Maintenance and Repair

The bucket cylinder requires regular inspection, appropriate lubrication, and prompt replacement of worn or damaged seals. Proper installation is critical to ensuring long-term cylinder performance. It is recommended to use appropriate installation brackets to secure the cylinder and to align the cylinder properly. A recommended inspection, repair, and replacement procedure should be followed to ensure the cylinder’s longevity.

Safety and Environmental Considerations

It is essential to follow appropriate safety measures while operating hydraulic equipment. Safety features such as safety valves and overload protection must be included in the design of the cylinder to prevent accidents. Environmentally friendly hydraulic oil should be used for lubrication, and proper disposal of used hydraulic oil should be ensured.

Fault Diagnosis and Common Problems

Common faults that can occur in bucket cylinders include fluid leaks, piston rod bending, and cylinder seal damage. It is essential to diagnose and repair these faults promptly to ensure the cylinder’s longevity and proper operation.
