FAQ: Tunnel Boring Machine Hydraulic Cylinders

What is the typical lifespan of a TBM hydraulic cylinder?
The lifespan varies based on usage and maintenance but generally exceeds 20,000 hours under normal operating conditions. Regular inspections and proper lubrication can extend this further.

How do I choose the right cylinder for my TBM project?
Selection depends on factors like bore diameter, stroke length, force requirements, and environmental conditions. Consult our technical team with your project specs for a tailored recommendation.

Are these cylinders compatible with all TBM brands?
Yes, our cylinders are designed to be universally compatible with major TBM manufacturers such as Herrenknecht, Robbins, and Hitachi. Custom adaptations are available for unique configurations.

What maintenance is required for TBM hydraulic cylinders?
Routine maintenance includes checking for leaks, inspecting seals, and monitoring fluid cleanliness. We recommend scheduled service every 500 operating hours or as per the manufacturer's guidelines.

Can these cylinders handle high-pressure applications?
Absolutely. They are rated for up to 350 bar operating pressure, with safety factors built-in to handle peak loads and pressure spikes common in tunneling operations.

Do you provide custom hydraulic cylinder solutions?
Yes, we offer custom design services to meet specific project needs, including unique dimensions, materials, and performance characteristics. Contact us with your requirements for a quote.

What materials are used to ensure durability?
We use high-tensile steel alloys with hardened surfaces and anti-corrosion treatments. Seals are made from premium materials like polyurethane or Viton for resistance to wear and chemicals.

How does temperature affect cylinder performance?
Our cylinders are tested for performance across a range of -20°C to 80°C. Extreme temperatures may require additional insulation or cooling systems, which we can integrate upon request.
