The working condition of the excavator cylinder is very hard. Challenges are as follows: the working pressure of the hydraulic system is large; the impact pressure is relatively high; the lateral load is large; the working temperature and the moving frequency are relatively high. Therefore, the performance of the excavator cylinder will have a direct impact on the quality of the entire machine.

Excavator cylinder components mainly include: a cylinder, piston, piston rod, bumper, external seals and standard parts.

1. Piston seals

The seal of the piston is composed of a wear ring, an anti-pollution seal ring and a combined seal ring.

The wear ring can support and guide the piston to avoid eccentricity or scratching, and it has a certain effect on enhancing the durability of the seal. The support belt must be a product with high load carrying capacity.

Wear ring for the general use of cloth to strengthen the interlayer phenolic resin. It has good wear resistance and bearing pressure. The pressure of the phenolic cloth guide belt can reach 300Mpa, which is ten times that of the Teflon bronze guide belt. The anti-pollution sealing ring can effectively avoid the oil mixing in the cylinder. Impurities cause damage to the seal. And to provide a guarantee for the life of the seal.

The material of the anti-pollution sealing ring is a polytetrafluoroethylene resin with good immersion impurities. It has a slit and a hydraulic bypass groove in the structure, which can effectively avoid the accumulation of oil pressure.

Two-way combination seals are often used in cylinder piston seals because they save space.

2. Sealing of the piston rod

The sealing structure of the piston rod includes: a sealing ring, a buffer ring, a retaining ring and a dust seal.

The seal ring has the function of sealing hydraulic oil. There is a high demand for the choice of sealing ring material, which not only has good impact resistance, wear resistance and crush resistance but also has superior sealing properties. The buffer ring acts as a buffer for decompression of the high pressure oil in the high pressure oil, thereby further reducing the pressure of the main seal. There is a retaining ring at the bottom end of the seal, which has strong anti-squeezing ability, so it can effectively prevent the buffer ring from being squeezed. In addition, the pressure generated by the retaining ring and the main seal can lubricate between the piston rod and the guide sleeve. Friction, but this requires that the buffer ring must have a reflow property to prevent excessive pressure between the buffer ring and the main seal. Therefore, the material of the buffer ring must have good wear resistance and crush resistance. Impact resistance.

The dust ring not only effectively isolates the dust, it also protects the equipment, and it also protects against oil. The movement of the live rod in the guide sleeve requires a certain oil film to be lubricated. The outer lip of the dust ring is likely to cause the oil film to aggregate to form an external leak. Therefore, this requires the inner lip of the dust seal to have a certain anti-scratch effect, hinder the leakage of the oil film.

3. Static seals

Excavators are sealed with O-rings, using nitrile rubber as raw material, and Shore hardness is in the range of 75-90. Because of the high system pressure, the 0-ring needs to be added with a retaining ring to avoid the occurrence of the O-ring being squeezed into the fit gap.

Standard of the sealing performance:

(1) Clearance of the seal ring

In the piston seal and piston rod seal, there is a certain gap between the movements. Factors affecting the gap size include: system pressure, seal material and section thickness, dynamic edge diameter and environmental degree. If the gap is large, not only will the tearing of the sliding edge of the seal root and the stationary side cause the root to be squeezed out, causing the seal to fail. Therefore, the size of the gap has a direct impact on the sealing performance, service life and processing cost of the seal.

(2) Guide belt width

Depending on the use of the guide belt to allow deformation, the corresponding curve can be selected, and the smaller telescopic deformation can ensure the guiding effect. The minimum guide strip width can be determined from the corresponding values and formulas, and then the appropriate guide strip width can be selected.

(3) Assembly and inspection of oil cylinders

When assembling the cylinder, firstly, the parts of each part are separately loaded into the relevant components, and then installed from the inside to the outside.

It is important to choose the correct excavator cylinder seal. YBAS offers professional and high quality seal kits.

Turkish Textile Giant Sun Textile Solution Proposal for Drought

Published

on

While the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations (UN) are seeking solutions to combat drought through various projects, Ekoten Textile, a subsidiary of Turkey’s textile giant Sun Textile, has developed a groundbreaking project in collaboration with a technology startup to minimize the intensive water consumption in the textile industry. This pioneering project, the first of its kind globally, will enable the recycling and reuse of up to 90% of the water used in textile production.

Drought is one of the most pressing issues facing the world today. According to WHO data, 40% of the global population is struggling with water scarcity. By 2030, up to 700 million people could be forced to migrate due to drought. The unconscious use of water in global production processes plays a significant role in the rapid depletion of clean water resources.

The textile industry is one of the sectors with the highest water consumption. In Turkey, while the food industry consumes 22% of the water used for industrial purposes, the textile sector follows closely with 18%. For instance, producing an average of 40 tons of products daily requires 2,500 tons of water, equivalent to the daily water consumption of approximately 10,000 people.

CLEAN WATER RESOURCES FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE EVERY DAY!

In textile production, where clean water resources are heavily consumed, the innovative success of the Turkish company stands out as a global best practice. This initiative will shape the future of the industry. The wastewater recycling project, developed through intensive R&D efforts, will ensure that over 90% of the required water is sourced from recycled supplies.

The reuse of wastewater in production will transform the fate of countries operating in the textile sector. By preventing the use of clean water resources for textile production, this project will free up clean water sources that can meet the daily needs of hundreds of thousands of people.

R&D ACTIVITIES IN 38 COUNTRIES WITH 380 PARTNERS!

Sun Textile places great emphasis on R&D activities, conducting research and development efforts with 380 partners across 38 countries. Sun Textile and its subsidiary Ekoten Textile export nearly 90% of their production, solidifying their identity as a leading exporter. The company ships products to numerous destinations worldwide, including European countries, the UK, and the US. Sun Textile, the leading ready-to-wear exporter in the Aegean Region, achieved a consolidated turnover of 250 million euros in the third quarter of 2024, continuing its active growth trajectory.

OFFERING CUSTOM DESIGNS TO CUSTOMERS

Sun Textile provides its own designed collections to leading brands in Europe and the UK. Ekoten Textile, its subsidiary, is among the most respected knitted fabric manufacturers in Turkey and Europe. 

With a dedicated sales team for each major customer group and five design offices in three different countries, Sun Textile creates designs tailored to its customers’ needs. Its largest clients include the Inditex Group, H&M, Jimmy Key, Tesco, Kiabi, Marks & Spencer, and Next.

Sun Textile also extends its sustainability approach to social responsibility, notably for its high ratio of female employees. The company, which went public in 2022, is also listed in dividend indexes.
