3. Disassemble the Cylinder Once the boom cylinder is detached, carefully disassemble it. Remove the end caps, which may require a specific tool or technique depending on your excavator model. Take care not to damage any internal components.
Shaft seals serve as barriers between rotating shafts and stationary components. They are integral in containing lubricants and preventing external contaminants from entering the machinery. In high-temperature environments, the challenges are amplified. High temperature shaft seals must resist thermal degradation, maintain their sealing properties, and endure the harsh conditions often present in such settings.
5. Professional Assistance If you're not experienced in automotive repair, seeking professional help for seal replacement and hub assembly inspection can ensure the job is done correctly and safely.
- Rod Seals These ensure that no hydraulic fluid escapes through the rod exit. Properly functioning rod seals are vital for the cylinder's efficiency.
