How to smoothly pass the running-in period of loader auxiliary tools

Apr 7th,2025 36 Views

In the loader operation scene, various auxiliary tools have greatly expanded its functional boundaries. Whether it is construction, mining, or port logistics, loader auxiliary tools play an important role. However, new or overhauled loader auxiliary tools must go through a running-in period, which is directly related to their subsequent performance and service life. Next, we will explore in depth how to help loader auxiliary tools smoothly pass this critical period.

Preliminary running-in period: adequate preparation

Selection and adaptation

When purchasing loader auxiliary tools, accurate matching is essential. Different models of loaders have different hydraulic system pressures, output power, interface sizes, etc. For example, when used for "selection of light material handling auxiliary tools for small loaders", the matching small buckets, forks, etc. should be light and flexible, and compatible with the loader hydraulic system pressure; while "matching of heavy-duty auxiliary tools for large loaders and mines" requires large auxiliary tools that are durable and have strong load-bearing capacity, such as large-capacity buckets suitable for mining operations. This adaptation lays the foundation for the smooth development of the subsequent running-in period.

Installation and debugging

The installation of loader auxiliary tools requires strict specifications. Taking the common loader clamping auxiliary tools as an example, before installation, the connection parts need to be carefully cleaned to remove impurities such as oil, rust, etc. to ensure a firm connection. After installation, various parameters should be finely debugged. This involves the "Key Points for Debugging the Hydraulic System of Loader Auxiliary Tools", including the hydraulic system pressure setting and flow adjustment to ensure that the opening and closing angles and clamping force of the clamp meet the design requirements. Accurate installation and debugging can keep the auxiliary tools in good condition at the initial operation and reduce the risk of abnormal wear and failure during the running-in period.

Run-in process: standardized operation

Reasonable load

During the running-in period, strict control of the load is the key. In the initial stage, the load should be controlled at 30%-50% of the rated load, and gradually increase with the increase of running-in time, but the maximum should not exceed 80% of the rated load. For example, in the "Load control of the loader bulldozer during the running-in period", the amount of bulldozing should not be too large at the beginning, and the amount of work should be increased step by step. Avoiding long-term overload can reduce the stress burden of various parts of the auxiliary tools and prevent deformation and increased wear caused by excessive stress.

Speed control

During the loader's running-in period, the driving and operating speeds need to be properly controlled. The driving speed should not be too fast, and generally a lower gear should be used to ensure a stable engine speed and avoid sudden acceleration and braking. When using a loader breaker, the "Frequency adjustment of the loader breaker during the running-in period" should start from a lower frequency and increase appropriately as the running-in deepens. Smooth speed control helps to evenly stress each component and allow the auxiliary tools to gradually adapt to the working state.

Run-in maintenance: regular inspection

Lubrication and maintenance

Regular lubrication and maintenance of loader auxiliary tools is essential. Lubrication points in different parts need to be lubricated at specified time intervals and requirements. For example, the "loader bucket pin lubrication cycle" and joint parts need to be filled with an appropriate amount of high-quality grease at regular operating times to ensure that the moving parts are well lubricated during movement and reduce friction resistance and wear. Timely and standardized lubrication and maintenance can significantly extend the service life of the auxiliary tools and ensure their normal operation during the running-in period.

Component inspection

During the running-in period, key components of loader auxiliary tools need to be checked regularly. The inspection contents include the tightness of the connecting bolts, the sealing of the hydraulic system, the wear degree of wearing parts, etc. Taking the loader hydraulic cylinder as an example, we should pay attention to the "loader hydraulic cylinder running-in period inspection items", regularly check whether the surface of the cylinder piston rod is scratched or deformed, and check whether the cylinder seal is leaking. Timely discovery and handling of potential problems of components can prevent small faults from turning into major mechanical accidents, and help the auxiliary tools to smoothly pass the running-in period.

In short, for the loader auxiliary tools to smoothly pass the running-in period, it is necessary to comprehensively control all aspects from the early stage of selection and adaptation, installation and commissioning, to reasonable load and speed control during the running-in process, and then to the later lubrication maintenance, component inspection, etc. Only by strictly following these points can the loader auxiliary tools be put into operation in the best condition after the running-in period, providing strong support for the efficient and stable operation of the loader.
