This video is a job we did to tear-down, disassemble & reassemble a hydraulic cylinder for a Caterpillar 740 Articulated Dump Truck. This is the front suspension strut cylinder on the truck, the cylinder is bypassing and the seals on the cylinder gland are destroyed. This shows the step by step process to disassemble and tear-down the cylinder, install a new seal kit and reassemble the cylinder. First we use our 150T Hydraulic Press to help with the disassembly and tear-down of the cylinder. We also need to fabricate flogging spanners to remove the gland and 4" inch nut from the cylinder. We clean and inspect all the components before installing a new seal kit and re-assembling the hydraulic cylinder in our press.

@thepagan5432 2 года назад

This post brought back many memories of working mostly over in the US refurnishing, updating our large printing press gearboxes. Sometimes spending months working at national newspaper facilities. I really enjoyed those times, mostly before 911. Sometimes having to make tools just like the C-spanner, with a difference. This old engineer would make them with 2 location lugs instead of 1, it worked fine. He would say that it spread the load over 2 slots instead of 1. Working on the end users premises was fine, even when their engineering staff were watching me work. I found that working in a logical manner, just like you do, and keeping your working area as clean and tidy as possible, gave the customer confidence in my ability to do the job. Now you have all that space in the workshop you could build Homey a doggy assault course inside out of the rain. Another great post by you pair, thank you.

@tommi_mk285 2 года назад

When you talked about the nut being tight I remembered one thing my mate told me. He works in a place that makes engines for large ships. According to him, when they tighten the bolts what are effectively head bolts, about 110 mm in diameter, they have a hydraulic machine that stretches the whole bloody bolt a wee bit. Then they just sort of hand tighten the nut and release the bolt. Not coming off without the stretcher machine I hear.

@CuttingEdgeEngineering 2 года назад

Yeah mate very common way to tighten a bolt if the are big fuckoff bolts!

@peteacher52 2 года назад

Just make sure the nuts are not those from Bob's Buck-a-Pop Shop!

@forrestaddy9644 2 года назад

Stretched many a bolt back in the day. High pressure steam joint flanges are held together with continuous threaded studs with nuts on each end. If you know the root area of the thread, the mid nut length of engagement, the number of studs, and the modulus of elasticity for the stud material, you can mike the relaxed vs stretched length of the stud, and with a calculation determine the clamping force to a high degree of accuracy. With a little experience and a keen ear, you can listen to the sound of the blows of a single jack on the slugging wrench and draw up the studs as accurately as if you miked the stretch. Hydraulic fastener tensioning systems are great time savers but very expensive and you don't always have access in a crowded space to install the hardware and run the hoses. Speaking of clever fastener tensioning methods, who knows about stud heaters?

@totojejedinecnynick 2 года назад

makes sense since tightening bolts to a prescribed torque is just one mean how to create preload/stretch of the bolt - which is the goal. We don't really care about the method used, we need that preload force - and hydraulics should be able to deliver. FYI Method - accuracy By feel ±35% Torque wrench ±25% Computer-controlled wrench ±8-15% Turn-of-nut ±15% Preload indicating washer ±10% Bolt elongation ±3−5% Strain gages ±1% Ultrasonic sensing ±1%
