Le Ensemble de cylindre de seau hydraulique is an essential part of an excavator’s attachment system, enabling the machine to pick up, carry and dump loads. Proper maintenance and timely replacement of hydraulic cylinders and related parts is critical for optimal excavator performance and productivity.
Function Of The Bucket Cylinder Assembly
The bucket cylinder assembly consists of:
- Le vérin hydraulique lui-même – Which actuates the linkage system
- Connexions des broches – Attaching the cylinder to the boom and bucket
- Bagues, joints et roulements – Dans les axes et la tige du vérin
The hydraulic cylinder works by extending and retracting its rod in response to hydraulic pressure from the excavator’s pump. This motion:
- Raises and lowers the excavator bucket
- Opens and closes the bucket to grab and release material

Components Of Excavator Hydraulic Cylinders
Hydraulic cylinders used in bucket assemblies include:
- Piston – Agit sur le fluide hydraulique pour étendre ou rétracter la tige
- Tige – Connects to the bucket linkage and transmits force
- Tube de cylindre – Abrite l’ensemble piston et tige
- Scellés – Empêcher les fuites de liquide autour du piston et de la tige
- Bagues – Réduire la friction au sein des connexions des broches
Maintaining About Excavator Hydraulic Cylinders
Regular maintenance should include:
- Checking for leaks – Autour des phoques, tuyaux, fittings and cylinders
- Inspecting rods/tubes – Pour les bosses, rayures ou usure excessive
- Lubricating bushings and pins – Avec de la graisse tous les 50 les heures
- Checking hoses/fittings – Pour les fissures, dommages ou raccords desserrés
- Test de l'amplitude complète des mouvements – Les cylindres doivent bouger librement
Signs It’s Time To Replace Cylinders:
- Rods bent or dented
- Seals leaking excessively
- Rod/piston extending unevenly
- Excess friction and binding
- Lack of full range of motion
Benefits Of Replacing Worn Cylinder Assemblies:
- Improved digging and lifting power
- Faster cycle times for faster productivity
- Smoother, more controlled bucket movement
- Reduced hydraulic system strain and wear
- Less unexpected breakdowns and downtime
