Hydraulic cylinders play a crucial role in combine harvesters, enhancing their efficiency and performance in agricultural operations. These cylinders are integral to various functions, such as adjusting the cutting header, controlling the unloading auger, and managing grain bin extensions. SEA Hydrosystems’ hydraulic cylinders for combine harvesters are engineered to withstand the challenging agricultural environment, offering exceptional durability and simplified maintenance to ensure reliable performance in the field.
Here’s an overview:
Key Features:
- High Working Pressure: Rated for 3000 PSI (20 MPa), ensuring reliable performance under demanding conditions.
- Connection Ports: Both end connections use ORB (SAE#6) standard for secure and leak-resistant fitting.
- Welded Cylinder Design: Features a welded rod-end cross tube and a base-end square block with a pin eye hole for durability and easy mounting.
- Port Placement: Standard configuration includes both ports on the base end, with optional additional ports available for customization.
- Double-Acting Piston Seal: Designed to adapt to changes in pressure or direction of travel for enhanced responsiveness and efficiency.
Common Applications in Combine Harvesters:
- Header Adjustment: Controls the height and angle of the cutting header for efficient crop harvesting.
- Unloading Auger Control: Extends or retracts the auger for precise grain unloading.
- Grain Bin Extensions: Assists in raising or lowering grain bin extensions to maximize capacity during operation.
- Steering Assistance: Some combine harvesters use hydraulic cylinders in steering mechanisms for better maneuverability in the field.
Advantages:
- Increases operational efficiency and reliability.
- Reduces manual labor and improves operator comfort.
- Enhances safety through precise control and automation.
