Like construction equipment, attachments require heavy duty hydraulic actuators to endure the rugged use that they will see in service.  Above: Hydraulic Cylinders used on Construction Attachments will see rugged service including exposure to corrosive elements. This Excavator has a "Thumb" attachment on the bucket.
Hydraulic cylinders used on construction attachment equipment must endure the following harsh enviironmental conditions: - Temperature Extremes - winter cold and summer heat.
- Abrasives - sand, dirt, grit and dust.
- Corrosive Environments - rain and salt.
- Work Load - heavy continual use.
- Contamination - asphalt, tar and cement splatter.
- Mechanical Impacts
Above: Hydraulic Attachment Cylinders must resist dirt and contamination. |
