Hydraulic Hammer - KB26 Specialist Application
We were approached by one of our valued clients with a longstanding problematic sealing problem. The objective was to replace the conventional O-Ring and Back-Up Ring arrangement with a superior sealing setup.
Assessment
After discussions and assessment of the issues, it was established that some of the key contributing factors to the failure of the existing products included cavitation/dieseling effect, large pressure fluctuations, excessive short cycle movement and spiral/seal-roll failure. This was due to the arduous service conditions these products are subjected to.
Solution
Our technical team took on board the application details, provided a proposal and worked closely with the client to evaluate our products. After extensive in-house and field trials, our KB26 profile provided a dramatic increase in lifespan, service intervals and general downtime. Assembly was also detailed as being far quicker and easier due to the one piece seal arrangement.
Result
The customer reported that our solution solved their longstanding sealing problem and praised us on our high end products that support their business extremely well. They believe this contributes to their reputation as being a key manufacturer in their business marketplace.
