Hydraulic Articulated Cylinder for Shield Tunneling Machines
A hydraulic articulated cylinder is a specialized hydraulic cylinder designed for shield tunneling machines, enabling articulation or movement of its body, unlike standard hydraulic cylinders with a fixed body. These cylinders serve numerous functions in shield tunneling machines, including:
- Active articulation: Steering the cutter head and coordinating tool changes. The hydraulic cylinder articulates the cutter head, facilitating steering and tool changes without halting the machine.
- Passive articulation: Assisting in dragging the tail of the shield forward. This feature helps propel the machine forward through the ground.
Hydraulic articulated cylinders for shield tunneling machines are constructed from high-strength materials, designed to endure the challenging conditions of underground tunneling. They are typically large, with bore diameters ranging from 125mm to 550mm and stroke lengths between 140mm and 1200mm.
Benefits of Using Hydraulic Articulated Cylinders in Shield Tunneling Machines
- Accuracy and precision: These cylinders provide precise control over the cutter head and tool movements, essential for accurate tunnel excavation.
- Flexibility: Versatile for various applications, including cutter head steering, tool changes, and tail dragging in shield tunneling machines.
- Durability: Designed to withstand the extreme conditions of underground tunneling, including high pressure, dust, and vibration.
Hydraulic articulated cylinders are crucial components in shield tunneling machines, delivering the accuracy, precision, flexibility, and durability required for safe and efficient tunnel excavation.
