| New line of hydraulic breaker attachments  Compact equipment operators can now smash through concrete faster with a new line of hydraulic breaker attachments from Bobcat Company. Designed for concrete and general demolition work, the hydraulic breaker attachments have an entirely new internal design with fewer moving parts and no external tie rods, thus reducing overall service time. Another major advancement is the auto power feature, which is an automatic pressure regulator that ensures maximum performance of the hydraulic breaker, regardless of tool carrier hydraulic flow variations or changes in outdoor temperature. This means that each hydraulic breaker attachment delivers high performance within a large flow range of carriers. The auto power feature also limits excessive pressure at the time of start-up. As a result, the energy chamber diaphragm is protected, allowing for longer service life.The energy chamber diaphragm gives the new Bobcat hydraulic breakers a distinct advantage by allowing the nitrogen pressure to remain constant, so in turn the breaker performance remains constant. No periodic recharging is required, thus the breaker is virtually maintenance free and is operational as soon as it's mounted to the carrier. Fewer moving parts reduce the amount of maintenance the hydraulic breakers require. An innovative steel-ring system retains the breaker bit bushing and protects the greasing system. The ring can be easily moved with a multipurpose maintenance tool supplied with the attachment. In addition, the hydraulic breaker maintenance tool can be used to check the critical dimensions of the retaining pin and sliding bushing, which can be visually inspected while on the jobsite. This exclusive 'go/no-go' gauge will provide the operator a quick reference for when components need replacing. The hydraulic breakers also are standard equipped with a special shield to protect hoses and fittings from damage when working close to the ground or in tight spaces. In order to reduce noise and vibration, upper and lower shock absorbers isolate the breaker from the housing. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
