This hydraulic cylinder failure is one of the WORST we have seen! The piston and seals on this Komatsu PC300 stick cylinder are completely destroyed. In this Part 2 video we show the step by step of making a new piston, fitting the new seal kit and re-assembling the cylinder.

I once saw an Caterpillar D8 Engine rebuild, after it literally exploded with a big hole in the engine block, done in India on the street, on the sandy, dusty ground. In the end they put in some sealings or smth (I think it was around the crankshaft, the part that connects the cylinders to the crankshaft or smth) that should provide lubrication, and they put them in in the wrong way, so the oil won't be able to get in it like it should and its obvious what will happen soon to this "rebuild" engine.. and I don't want to know how much sand and dust got into the engine.

You’ve obviously never had a knuckle dragging steering wheel attendant AKA truck “driver” dog a chain down over a length of precision finished/ground 4140. Yeah I know this was only a short piece but the lack of GAF/brains in the transport industry is endemic. Try explaining to a customer that the length of hollow bar you have been waiting months for to finish their job has been turned into a banana by a moron with a 5 t forklift and a pallet full of 200 L drums. At least with a “fragile” wrapping you have some chance of winning the inevitable argument with the office at the transport company.

Perhaps Kurtis is not showing us everything, which is totally understandable. I always recommended a fresh edge, or visual edge inspection in Mantis scope, before doing a finish cut, particularly in big expensive parts like CEE routinely handles. Ouch, accidents, unpredictable, happen and bite big $$. Love the vids, thanks to folks at CEE... and yes, more Homeless! :)

I’m retired from industrial maintenance, and I am still amazed that managers still don’t realize that a good preventative maintenance program will pay for its self. But most managers have no idea of how to set one up, or how to keep one running. Instead they look at preventive maintenance as a nucince! They believe that preventive maintenance is when maintenance prevents you from running production.

As somebody with no experience in large hydraulics like this, I really appreciated you showing us the reassembly of the piston seals - *thanks heaps!* It's absolutely incredible how much pressure and force those tiny little things can withstand, day after day, with some gorilla operator bashing the living sh!t out of the machine. We actually had sun today in Sydney... so strange to get a change from rain!

@ronblack7870 2 жыл бұрын

we have had to change seals on our 2000 vertical compression press. 36 inch bore x 60 inch stroke. 914 mm bore x 1500 mm stroke. first pull the slide and cylinder . it weighs 50 tons . pull cylinder apart vertically with a 30 ton crane. piston seals and guide rings cost 25k. cylinder works upside down . the rod stays stationary and the external housing moves up and down. this gives less deflection to the press platen. makes it very difficult to change seals. seals last about 5 years cause the platen gets around 100 C since the mold under it is 160C.

When thinking of pressure, always remember that PSI is pounds per square inch. If you have high pressure but not that many square inches (of acting surface area), you have a low force :) I feel like PSI is the more intuitive unit here because it spells out what it is. It of course applies to bars or pascals or whatever too :)

@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Доброго времени суток! Скажите, а почему вы не выставляете режимы резания, при которых стружколом гарантированно выполняет свою работу? Очень много кадров, в которых стружка вьётся и наматывается либо на патрон, либо на деталь, либо на инструмент. Я имею ввиду именно черновые режимы. Так-же, было бы интересно узнать, какой именно материал сейчас обрабатывали. Со стороны похоже на нержавейку, но стружка синеет, потому к нержавеющим сталям я заготовку отнести не могу. Но это и не углеродистая сталь, по звукам, которые говорят о большой нагрузке, материал похож на высоко легированную сталь. Возможно имеется термообработка до 30-32 HRC, но обычно термоулучшение делается после сверления. У нас в россии вышеперечисленными свойствами отличаются 30хгса, 40х13, х12мф и подобные легированные стали. Среди европейских материалов я немного не разбираюсь, потому очень интересно!

Watching Kurtis making that piston, I was remembering the expression "measure twice, cut once". If I was making that part, I'd measure like 432 times before making the next cut!😆I make small parts on my mini-lathe for my business and I am an amateur. I hate when I'm like 80% done making a part, then make a mistake during the final cuts and having to start all over again! In Kurtis's case, it would be very expensive to make a mistake that ruins the piston when almost done making it. Clearly every newish machinist has a list of expensive parts they screwed up while trying to make it. Luckily my small parts are not much in material or time. Good job on the beautiful part, excellent filming and editing.

I'm finally watching this after a full weekend doing other stuff. Great video as always, it looks like that cylinder will (hopefully) last a LONG while! Watching channels like this, car repair ones, etc, make me HOPE that the engineers designing the equipment and the people writing the repair and maintenance manuals will take notes. I've got a friend who works as a Hydraulic Systems Engineering Project Lead for Caterpillar in their Tucson, AZ Proving Grounds. Maybe he should see some of the repairs you deal with!

Not sure if you tried this yet, but I use to put the seals in hot oil for about 15-20 seconds. I used a wire hanger to hang them in the oil. It seemed to make them easier to stretch over the pistons for me. I would also put a large hose clamp around those pressure seals on the piston just tight enough to squeeze it into place and let it stay on until I got ready to install the rod into the barrel. It reduced the number of spicy words during reassembly a good bit.

37 year machinist. Last 22 years repairing industrial pumps. Great job on the repair and the video. I got a laugh out of your bearing in your milling machine yet still running it. I do the same on some of my machines. So do our customers. Run it til the repair has to be made. Makes for more machine labor in the long run.

On your comment about being restricted to a 75mm drill or so in size....have you considered getting an annular cutter for any big holes you want to make? Unfortunately they're restrictive in depth (I've used them for up to 3 inches of depth) but they are VERY handy for putting big holes in something but not requiring a whole lot of power

@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Just takes a single bump to make that massive block of metal go from near perfect, better than factory, to scrap it and start again. Guess the operator figures CEE rates are a lot more than his in house rates to paint, and likely he is already busy removing all the hydraulic lines and fittings to clean the glitter and chunks out of them. Operator can reflect on his idiotic ignoring of the noise by painting all the yellow back on the steel in that time.

One of the primary reasons I respect your channel is that when you do a 2 part video it is because the work requires to be broken up into parts for what I see as logical reasons. Many popular channels, one in particular started off well and has devolved into a product placement multi part (3,4 parts of something you'd do in 1) setting. What pushed me over the edge is I noticed his wife's camera work suddenly became a facsimile of your wife's. No BS she is a talented camera/editing person I'm waiting for a dog to show up lol.
