A rock breaker seal kit, also known as a hydraulic hammer seal kit, is a set of seals and O-rings specifically designed for the hydraulic system of a rock breaker or hydraulic hammer attachment. Rock breakers are heavy-duty hydraulic attachments used for breaking or demolishing rocks and other hard materials. Here are the components commonly found in a rock breaker seal kit:
-
Piston Seals: These seals are installed on the piston of the rock breaker. They prevent hydraulic fluid from bypassing the piston, ensuring efficient operation and preventing loss of power during the breaking process.
-
Rod Seals: Rod seals are placed on the rod (also known as the striker or chisel) of the rock breaker. They prevent hydraulic fluid from leaking out of the cylinder and also protect the rod from contaminants.
-
Wiper Seals: Wiper seals, similar to those in hydraulic cylinder seal kits, are positioned at the outer end of the rock breaker cylinder. They clean the rod and prevent dirt, debris, and other contaminants from entering the cylinder, which can cause damage to the seals and affect the performance of the rock breaker.
