How to Prevent Leaks in Pipe Jacking Hydraulic Cylinders?

Add Time:2021/12/18

  The use of pipe jacking hydraulic cylinders has become increasingly widespread. During use, incorrect operating techniques can lead to leaks in pipe jacking hydraulic cylinders. So, what should we pay attention to in our daily work to effectively prevent the occurrence of leaks in pipe jacking hydraulic cylinders?
  1. During regular work, we should pay attention to controlling the system temperature, as high oil temperature can reduce the service life of the seals, and consistently high oil temperature can cause the seals to deform, leading to severe failures.
  2. Normally, during each use, we should perform a full extension and retraction test run for 3-5 cycles before proceeding with work. The purpose of this is to exhaust the air in the system, preheat the various systems, and thus effectively prevent the presence of air or water in the system, which can cause gas explosions in the body of the pipe jacking hydraulic cylinder, damaging the seals and causing internal leaks in the hydraulic cylinder.
  3. After each work session, we need to ensure that the arms and bucket are in an optimal state, i.e., ensuring that all oil in the pipe jacking hydraulic cylinder flows back to the oil tank to ensure that the hydraulic cylinder is not under pressure. Because the hydraulic cylinder is subjected to pressure in one direction for a long period, this can also lead to damage to the seals.

  4. During regular use, we also need to frequently inspect various threads and bolts in the connection parts, immediately tightening any that are found to be loose. Loose parts can also cause oil leaks in the hydraulic cylinder, which is well understood by those engaged in engineering machinery.
  5. Regular lubrication of the connection parts is also something we need to pay attention to, to prevent corrosion or abnormal wear in oil-free conditions. Especially for parts that show signs of corrosion, we should promptly address the issue to prevent leaks in the pipe jacking hydraulic cylinder due to corrosion.
