What are the 3 construction machinery that are most prone to hydraulic cylinder failures?

Hydraulic cylinders are important components of construction equipment. They convert hydraulic energy into mechanical energy to support construction equipment in performing various tasks, from lifting and excavating to leveling and towing. Hydraulic cylinders enable equipment to handle high-demand work.

However, as a key component of this equipment, the hydraulic cylinder is prone to failure due to factors such as oil contamination, improper maintenance, and extreme temperatures. Especially for the following types of construction machinery, due to their high usage frequency and heavy load, it is very troublesome for them to malfunction.

The following will describe several types of construction machinery that are prone to hydraulic cylinder failures.

Excavator

Excavators rely on hydraulic cylinders to drive the boom, arm and bucket, enabling them to efficiently dig, lift and move materials. The hydraulic cylinder for excavator provides the power and accuracy that excavators need to perform tasks efficiently under harsh working conditions.

The most common cause of interruption in the excavator hydraulic cylinder are: fluid contamination is caused by dust, dirt and debris. The seals and the piston rod wear or damage. Overload or pressure in the hydraulic system. Improper maintenance or lack of maintenance on a regular basis.

Loader

Loaders (such as skid steer loaders) use hydraulic cylinders to lift and tilt the bucket, thus enabling the rapid and efficient handling of large quantities of materials. The loader hydraulic cylinder provides the power and control needed for the loader to perform its tasks efficiently.

The reasons for loader hydraulic cylinder failure are: Due to misalignment during installation, insufficient lubrication or abrasive particles in the hydraulic oil, the cylinder rod was scratched or damaged. Seal wear or damage, resulting in leakage and performance degradation. Overload or pressure in the hydraulic system. Improper maintenance or lack of maintenance on a regular basis.

Dump truck

Dump trucks rely on hydraulic cylinders to lift the cargo bed, thus unloading goods quickly and easily. The hydraulic cylinder for dump truck provide the necessary power and control for dump trucks, enabling them to transport large quantities of materials efficiently.

What main cause the dump truck hydraulic cylinder failure? Overloading or exceeding the rated capacity of the truck causes the hydraulic cylinder to bear excessive pressure. The seals and the piston rod wear or damage. A poor working environment pollution caused by fluid. Improper maintenance or lack of maintenance on a regular basis.

Hydraulic cylinder failure is a common problem in construction equipment, especially in excavators, loaders, and dump trucks. By understanding the common causes of hydraulic cylinder failures, professionals can take measures to prevent these problems and extend the service life of the equipment.
