2025-09-24


In the field of construction machinery, the maintenance quality of excavator attachments (such as hydraulic shears, breakers, rippers, etc.) directly determines equipment performance and operational safety. Statistics show that 43% of attachment failures are caused by improper maintenance. This article will provide systematic solutions from three dimensions: daily maintenance, key precautions, and scenario-based applications.

I.  Core Maintenance Procedures

  • Lubrication Management‌

Check pin shafts and bearings every 8 hours, using high-temperature lithium-based grease 

Breakers require daily injection of special hydraulic oil , clean the oil port before refilling to prevent contamination

  • Hydraulic System Maintenance‌

Regularly test hydraulic oil contamination 

When replacing filter elements, inspect hydraulic hoses immediately if cracks or bulges are found

  • Structural Inspection‌

Weekly magnetic particle inspection of attachment welds

Replace ripper teeth when wear exceeds one-third of original size

‌II. Five Key Precautions‌

⚠️ ‌Temperature Monitoring‌

Check cooling system and reduce continuous operation if hydraulic oil temperature exceeds 80°C

⚠️ ‌Compatibility Principle‌

Breakers must match host machine flow/pressure .

⚠️ ‌Seasonal Adjustments‌

Use -30°C hydraulic oil in winter, increase oil change frequency in summer

⚠️ ‌Rust Prevention‌

Apply WD-40 anti-rust coating and wrap pin shafts in moisture-proof film for long-term storage

⚠️ ‌Storage Standards‌

Store hydraulic attachments vertically to prevent piston rod deformation

 

‌III. Scenario-Based Maintenance Strategies‌

‌Scenario 1: Mine Crushing Operations‌

Clean breaker nitrogen chamber dust every 2 hours

Prioritize tungsten carbide hammers, rotate worn surfaces timely

Scenario 2: Municipal Pipeline Construction‌

Clean shear blades of asphalt residue after daily use

Check seal leaks to prevent soil contamination

 

‌Scenario 3: Agricultural Land Preparation‌

Remove tangled roots before ripper operations

Check bolt torque every 50 hours (450±50N·m)

Conclusion

Proper maintenance can extend attachment lifespan 2-3 times. Establish one-machine-one-file records and customize maintenance plans based on manuals.
